menal illness and legal wills?
My aunt died last july leaving all her worldly possessions to an well disliked brother in law and his wife. we filed a probate contest but the judge ruled on a motion to dismiss it as frivilous. My aunt has been mentally ill for 20 years she thougtht she was the sister in law to Bin Laden"???? All hospital records indicate she had full blown dementia e at the time she signed the will-just some 17 days before she died!!!! Any thoughts on how we can get this thief who stole both families inheritance would be appreciate!!!
Get a lawyer fast and appeal the Surrogate’s decision within 30 days. Get all of your information together and witnesses when you return to court. Lack of mental capacity is not a frivolous ground to challenge the formation of a will.

If a Judge ruled it as frivilous, obviously, there’s nothing much you can do. It would cost you in the long run to pursue the issue. But, there is a bright side to this kind of action - I got "done in" by my sister, and got absolutely nothing. Didn’t do her much good though, cos her husband died suddenly and she had to sell most of the stuff to pay his bills and keep the house!!! What goes around, comes around!
