QUESTION

What are chances in NC?

Asked on Mar 16th, 2012 on Estate Litigation - North Carolina
More details to this question:
Posted Mar 10th, 2012 See NC law. My brother influenced my mother to leave him everything, me nothing. Her will was all handwritten by her, signed and dated. Additional Details: I do plan to contest the will: In this case, my brother witnessed an attested written will, and he was given a beneficial interest in property by the will. However, there were no witnesses to the will who were disinterested. Therefore, according to the law, he shall take nothing under the will, and the will is void to his interest in the will. The fact that this was a holographic will does not change the fact that since he was a witness to the will without other disinterested witnesses, he shall take nothing under the will. He witnessed it and probably influenced the writing of it. So, he could testify to facts about the will, BUT, since he did witness it, he shall not benefit from the will. I need case histories to back me up in court.

You need to hire an attorney who is experienced in these types of claims.  There are several firms throughout North Carolina with experience in estate litigation, including my firm.  I suggest you contact someone immediately to see if they can assist you in pursuing your will caveat and other issues relating to your mother's estate.
