Contesting a will is very difficult. An attorney will need to see the Will before committing to taking such a case. Additionally, the costs for challenging a will can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. There has to be sufficient assets in your father's estate to make taking the case a financial disaster for you and the attorney taking your case. If there are not significant assets (more than $200,000 in my estimation) at stake, the case will be difficult to justify financially. Simply pursuing the case because there are bad actors and you want to see your father’s true desires happen is not enough to cause a prudent attorney to take a case.
Wills are presumed valid and invalidating one is a very difficult case. The evidence needed to overturn a will is difficult to obtain. Find an attorney who specializes in probate litigation to assist you. The attorney’s location is not that important because you only need to be in court 2-3 times on the matter. Good luck to you.
