I am desperate for some help. My father passed away in march of 2005. It was a VERY tough time, as I was very close to my father, and not very close to my mother. We got along, but a lot of times we would 'butt heads'. I helped her settle the accounts, life insurance, funeral arrangements, etc. I live 80 miles away, and eventually could not visit every day, I had to limit my visits to the weekends, which I did. In November of 2005, my mother began to favor the neighbor. At first I was very grateful that there was someone closer, than I was, to make sure things were ok. Basically to make a long story short, this neighbor started influencing my mother. My mother cashed in all the CD's, my mother replace my children ( her grandchildren's ) photos with photos of the neighbor's kids. I was also greeted with the neighbor's 'drop in' visits, even when I was visiting, and she would bring her children with, who would call my mother 'grandma'. To make a long story short, my mother and I had an argument on Christmas 2005. I voiced my concerns of the influence of the neighbor, and my mother brushed it off, and told me that I was too far away. My mother and I did not speak for the month of jan. and Feb 3rd she actually wrote up a will, disinheriting me and my children, and giving EVERYTHING to the neighbor.
The formal probate is coming up on Feb 13th, 2007, I cannot afford a lawyer, but feel that I have a case. the only problem is, I cannot find out what forms I must file, to LEGALLY contest this will. Does anyone have ANY help for me?????
