My father passed away on June 24th 2001. He was a resident of the state of Georgia where he had his last will drawn up on June 23rd 1997. He amassed his estate when he was married to our mother, which the marriage was one of 46 years. He remarried 6 months after my mother passed 15 years ago at the age of 71 years old. My sister and I have just been served the notification that my stepmother is probating his will. With the notification we received a copy of our fathers will. He is giving every thing to our stepmother except a small monetary amount that he indicated for my sister and I. In his past wills we had always been coexcutors of his will in the will that is my stepmother is probating dated 6/23/97 my father changed that to my stepmothers sister and his minister. My stepmother has not been kind to my sister or I in the past. My sister and I are to receive $1,000 a peice my father estate consists of much more Real Estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds ect...
In this will my father has got my last name wrong which we my sister and I do not understand since I have been married over 20 years to the same man and my name has not changed. Never before did my father get my last name wrong. I was served under this name and am listed under the wrong name. My father was 82 yrs old when he had this will drawn up. He suffered strokes. My sister and I are wondering is this appropriate or legal to give everything to his 2nd wife with which he has no children and to change his co-executors to her family and almost remove us totally. We feel very unloved and wonder if we have a leg to stand on in contesting this will. It still puzz;es me as to why he got my last name wrong and I am not sure if he was of sound mind and disposing memory at the time this will was drawn up? Please advise me I only have till the 30th of July to reply to the courts in Jackson County Georgia.
