State:Iowa
I was always under the impression that in order for a will to be legal, a person had to be of sound mind. My Mother-in-law recently passed away, and the will was made shortly before her death from alzheimers. Only 1 of her five children is mentioned in the will, the one that took her to the attorney to write it. This daughter claims the entire estate is repayment for the help she provided for the last 6 months of her Mothers life. All of the children were in good standing and treated fairly by their Mother, when she was able to recognize them. They also all contributed to her care in some way. It was clearly a sad situation.
Would this will be difficult to contest? Is it a long drawn out process? It was published in the paper on June 28th, what time frame are we looking at if my husband and his siblings decide to contest it?
