My relative died two months ago. I just got a copy of the pourover will.
There was a revocable living trust and deceased relative had always promised I would be compensated at the end for all my help. Yet this is what is stated in the will It says that I have intentionally and with full knowledge omitted to provide for all my heirs who are not specifically mentioned in the terms of this will.
and the distributions designated in this will is intended to be in lieu of any other claims, of whatever nature and whether arising by statute or otherwise, by an taker hereunder: any taker who asserts any other claim or contests this will or any trust made by me shall forfeit all interest in any property, income or other benefit to him/her. Any property, income or other benefit forfeited by the operation of this paragraph shall be distributed as part of the residue of my estate as if the taker asserting the claim predeceased me without surviving issue. Does this mean I am totally left out of the trust? All that is mentioned are several people who are called Personal Represetatives. There role is to disperse of property etc.
If I am out of luck can I contest the trust if I have nothing to lose?
What are my options?
I cannot get a copy of the trust. Trustee is super Volatile and told me to stay out of others estates .
Thank you for your help.
