My father passed away two years ago and left a very simple will. At that time I was named in the will receiveng a Deed of Trust for property that he had sold in 1978. The rest of the estate went to my step mother and then to me if something happened to her within 60 days. He also gave verbal instructions to his wife, my former aunt and now step mother on certain items to be given to myself and sons which she never followed through on. These were not in the will but the conversation was witnessed by several other family members.
My step mother is now dying of lung cancer and has sold the property and all the contents to her brother for a very low price. He and his wife are also the executors over her will. She'll live there until her death. She recently bought a boat and other gifts for him which is so out of character for her to do. She has also changed her will several times over the last few months and my step sister and I feel as though she has been coherced by her brother and his wife. My step mother has been extremly medicated and has been on oxygen for the last 6 months.
The first question is; Can my fathers will still be contested even though it has been over two years? Can my step sister and I contest her mothers will under the above conditions? Does a person have to be named in a will before they can contest it. Can the sale of the home be contested? What is the time frame and how do we go about this? Any help appreciated! This is in WV.
