Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana

Grandfather Left Estate To The Remaining Four

My husband died in 1986. His father decided to make a Will in 1988. Now his father has died in 2004. There are three children left as another sister died in the 1990s. His father never left anything to my dead husband. Is there any recourse for us (the grandchildren) as far as the Will is concerned? The amount of the Will is $110,000. I am deeply concerned. What can my children do to resolve this matter?

If the Will does not provide for the grandchildren then there is no recourse.

Re: Grandfather Left Estate To The Remaining Four

Unless you believe his intent was to leave them something, and he was unduly influenced to change the will omitting the grandchildren, you don't have much recourse. And if the previous sentence gives you hope, then be aware you will have to provide some compelling evidence.
