How do I obtain a copy of my father's will if I inherited something?
Full Question:
Answer:
You can contest a Will be filing the appropriate documents in Chancery Court. If the Will has not been filed for probate, a pleading can be filed in Mississippi telling the Court you contest the probating of the Will. As for locating a Will, there is not a place in Mississippi where Wills are filed before death. Therefore, if there was another Will it could have to be located among her things, or maybe the lawyer who drafted the Will can be located who could have the Original or a copy. The issue of proving that she was incompetent or under duress, is complicated and depends on the facts of the particualt case. This should be discussed with your attorney.
