What is the name of your state? Maine
In my Uncle's will he states there is a certain attachment with further instructions/specifications. However, there is no attachment. There is a family feud over the will because it involves step mother and siblings. The will basically left everything to his two blood sons and not much to his step wife or the step chidlren. So, when the blood sons asked the attorney (who prepared the will) about the attachment he claims it was standard language and nothing more. Because this attorney is now representing the "step wife" and because there is now missing monies, etc., shouldn't the attorney who drafted the will be required to file an affidavit with Probate Court indicating there is no attachment so everyone who is involved in this will can at least resolve this issue. However, this attorney is not being agreeable to signing a simple affidavit claiming there was no attachment. What can we do?
