Is it legal to put the wording in a will saying “if anyone named in the will contests the will they would forfeit anything they were given in the will even if the person wins in a court of law, THEY WILL GET NOTHING due to the fact they contested the will”? and would that stand up in a court of law?
A family member of mine had my grandfather sign some documents on his death bed a few weeks or months before he died from a long fight with cancer which involved 8 years or surgery and several rounds of chemo and hormone therapy. She faxed these documents into a lawyer and basically stole my grandmothers home, land and money away from her. Can we contest this and not risk my family losing what small amount my aunt did not take. I don’t know if this wording can really hold up in a court of law but i DON’T WANT MY GRANDMA TO LOSE EVERYTHING.
Any information or advice would be much appreciated. I am at a loss of what to do.
Thanks so much
respectfully yours
