What is the name of your state? Illinois
My Mothers Grandmother had a 200 acre peice of land in central illinois. In 1960, she left his land to her son (who is my mother's uncle) while he was alive and then it was to go to my Mother's Mom to use while she was alive and then by her will, it was suppose to go to my Mother and her 3 siblings. My Mothers Mom died 6 months ago and left this land only to my Mother's sister even though the original will, which we have a copy of, said it was to go to all 4 grandchildren. The will states it was only to go to my Grandmother to use while she was alive then be givien to the grandchildren. My aunt has somehow set up a trust for her two children with this land. I don't understand how she could have done this and if my Mother has grounds to fight from the original will. Also, can anyone tell me if they know the statue of limitations to contest a will in Illinois? Thanks
