Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

Suing stepfather's estate

When I was 9 years old, my stepfather sexualy abused me for years. He has since died. After he died, I told my mother about it. She refused to believe it. She is now dying and has left me out of her will completely, calling me a liar. Do I have any recourse. I also wonder if I can sue the estate, since I am still angry about being sexually abused. I feel I deserve some type of conpensation for all my suffering.

Re: Suing stepfather's estate

Sadly, parents can always disinherit children. In order to contest her will after her death, you would have to argue that she forgot you. This does not appear to be the case. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
