What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
It just recently came to my attention that my father expressed the desire to change his will shortly before he died in 2004. It is my understanding that he wanted to leave his half of the estate to his siblings, with the other half left to his wife. But the will didn't get changed before he passed, so the entire estate went to his wife.
Since there is nothing on paper to prove his intentions, is it possible to contest the will if there is other evidence (heresay) to his intentions?
Has the Statute of Limitations run out, or is there a possible exclusion based on "new information" (evidence) that I just recently became privy to?
