When should Will be contested?
I was 1 of 3 executors to my aunt’s Will. My cousin moved her in with him and transferred her money into his accounts. She had approximatley 15 accounts. She passed away and I found out that he changed the Will and spent or hid her money. He convinced her I was on drugs, that her doctor told him she needed to move in with him and that she had Alzheimer’s. I have her original Will and Trust in my possession. He, her. attorney and I were the executors. I also have letters from her about her not trusting him. Can’t and shouldn’t this Will be contested ?

Based upon what you have written, since you have the original Will of your aunt, I suggest that you consult with a Wills and trust attorney in your locality about probating this Will by a court filing sooner rather than later. Any Will can be contested assuming it is probated. The suggested attorney in your locality can be found on attorneypages.com.
