What is the name of your state? Fort Worth, Texas

Hello, please help

My father passed away on Dec 24th 2005 at age 79. Starting about five years ago my father began down a rough path of TIAs (ministrokes), senility, and a degenerative brain disease. He was admitted to the hospital on Nov. 15th after a really bad TIA and not being able to hold bowel movements. However, two weeks before he was admitted to the hospital both he and my stepmother both signed seperate wills at their attorney's office giving all of his estate to her. He has had previous wills in the past and in each one as I was told by my father that I received 1/2 of the estate. The estate is worth well over $2 million. If I get his medical history, is it possible that I could have the last will invalidated and go to a previous will when he had his normal mental capacity?

I am also very upset with my step mother she basically stole the money when my father was at his lowest. Could I also have some sort of criminal charges against her?
 
You are going to have a tough time since the attorney is going to testify he was capable of executing a new will. Everything depends on what your father's doctor will say. I suggest that you consult with a local attorney.
