Georgia (where my father died) north carolina (where i live)
MY father passed away in Feb of this year. I went there (a 3 hour drive) as he was dying. my step mother informed me that dad was being creamated. that night i stayed at her(and my fathers) house and she and my step brother had talked about dad not wanting to live anymore in the state of health he was in ( he had also developed dementia) he was 83. that was when she and my step brother said they had discussed giving him 5 or 6 vallium and letting him "sleep out of this world"..they then laughed it off while having ****tails and nothing more was said. I was horrified. I asked for some of my dads ashes and was denied. I was then informed that he left EVERYTHING to my step mother, shocking as i'am an only child. when it came time to probate the will, i recieved one page that required my signature...no copy of the will..nada. about a month ago she called me wanting my social security #. i had just had surgery and was on painpills,,i gave it to her. what in the world would she need THAT for??? i have since contacted her thru an email asking her why she needed my social..no response. the (her) house is filled with things that belonged to my mother before her death. I asked for my dads air force wings and was again refused. my question is this: do i have a leg to stand on contesting his will?? i have sent to georgia for a copy of it.
