You may have a legitimate claim here. However, contesting a Will is time intensive and typically quite expensive, not to mention difficult to win. If you think that it's worth your time and money, then you should consult directly with a probate attorney. They can review all of the details of your case and best counsel you as to whether or not going forward with a case is advisable.
