It appears that you may have a right to judgment wrongly taken by your aunt. This, however, may be difficult to do -but not impossible- from New York/New Jersey.
You have good claim, but must pursue it where either the estate was probated, or where your aunt lives. If either is NJ, you can call me to discuss this further.You may also have grounds for filing a criminal complaint, but you should talk to a lawyer first.
