What is the name of your state? LA.
Please Help! Please! I am contesting a will which I believe was written under influence of the stepmth.
I have a recorded taped conversation, where my stepm says she made my dad change his will, mainly because she WAS not going to put up with the children from prior marriage. She says for him to make out another will, and when he was to come home after surgery, they were to throw it away. Is that not undue influence?
This will she made him wirte out, also leaves everything to her. In prior wills the bulk of the estate was to be devided equally between his children.
Let me say, for the entire lenght of their marriage, he kept his money seperate in a seperate bank, she did too. He inheritated land, a home, and a mobile home as a 'seperate property', she kept hers seperate also. The only jointly account they has was a checking account they kept in her bank. That's it.
As it stands now, we get nothing. She and halfsister get everything. The land I live on, my dad bought me 11 years ago, and gave to me. But never put in my name. Never thought we needed to. I thought I could trust stepmom. The house my brother lives in was an inheritated home, that daddy inheritated as a seperate property. He has lived there for 10 years and it was to go to him.
It is a sizeable estate, involving monies from gas wells from the land my dad inheritated from his mother, my grandmother.
Wouldnt this recorded admitied statement where the stepmom says she made him do this and the fact they were to throw it away, when he got home, fall under undue influence laws? Couldnt our case be won with this info along with all the other evidence? Along with the fact that my father never put anything in both their names and inheritated property as a seperate property? He never changed it in 36 years, except for the day before his surgery & she states she made him do it. He thought and we all did that he would be home in 3 days after his surgery., and they were to throw it away.
But she did not go through with the throwing away part, just the part where she was to get it all**************
I believe that if you except this will, she made him wirte out, then also you would have to put in to play...the part they were to throw it away. Wouldnt a good attorney be able to have this entered into court?
I would really appericate any advice I could get right now. I am so scared and have been so upset over all this, I just cant believe she is doing this to us and the memory of my dad's.
Please Help**************.
