Has anyone been through or knows about contesting a will? My father has just passed away and now my brother is contesting the will as my father left everything to me. I was the main carer for my father and had been around through both my father passing away and my mother, where as my brother only turned up if he wanted money. Now i understand a will can be contested however if he were to win, as he is saying I made my father change the will, The will that stands prior to this one (as this will was only made 3 weeks brfore my fathers death) states my son inherites everything, not me nor my brother and this will is over 20 years old. Surely if it went to court it would go to my son if I has been found to have made my father change his mind - which I did not do, I had no idea until afterwards what had been amended. I feel sick with all this my poor father had been through enough with my brother and now he is dragging me into his nasty life. My father was addament he was not to have anything as he had had enough over the years and did not want his wife to get her hands on any of his and my mothers hard earned money. Now they have been given legal aid and I dont qualify, but I do not see how they would get legal aid if the previous will does not have him in it anyway. Please can you help.
