I'm sorry you lost your husband. You should have your lawyer explain why the will was declared invalid. Given the fact courts are generally closed, it sounds like the will was improperly witnessed and therefore, never a will to begin with. As for your year's support. if the children have objected to it, a trial is required. These usually do not occur sooner than 3-6 months after you you file the petition. A year's support claim can be handled on a contingency fee to make it more affordable for you.
