Question

after my father died last year my sister made a new will and had my mother sign it.Leaving almost everything to her. my mother died 2 months ago and this was not my parents wishes

Answer

Has the will been probated? If not, you should file a "caveat" with the Surrogate to prevent the will from being probated. If it has been probated, and you want to contest it, you must do so ASAP [the statute allows 4 months for a NJ resident to contest a will].

Answer

I agree with Jon, and this must be done promptly, so do not waste time. If there was a prior Will, it would be helpful to your situation.

Answer

You need to move on this right now. it is much faster and cheaper for you to fight this now before the will gets probated.

You need a lawyer to sit down with you and give you some advice.

I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you.

This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
