Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

In the State of FL. can one challenge a will is authentic, on their own without a lawyer? That was my question. I know a lawyer would be best, but I cannot afford one. The lady lived with my father for 4 years and the will had his name printed and he never printed his signature on anything. The short will was written in black and there was a blue line under his printed name like this is where you need to sign. The lady who notarized it her notary was 3 months out of date, the date it's good until. She made it were she got everything and he would never do that. He had a will in the past that is probably still good, That spread his belongings to his children, but she lives in the house wear everything is kept.

You are not required to have a lawyer, although getting one would be best.

Yes, but there is a great deal of legal work involved. Some attorneys will take the matter on a contingency fee with only court expenses being advanced. Good luck. Sounds like you have a valid case.
