After our father died, his neighbor asked the Court to probate a will he has signed about 20 years ago where he leaves his whole estate to her. We know that a few years before his death, our father filed a plea against this neighbor in Court and even asked us to help him pay for the lawyer. Do we stand a chance against her application?

If you can prove that your late father started a legal procedure against her (the neighbor), and brought claims against her that refute the contents of the will, then the Court may well decide not to consider the will which was written and signed by your late father, years before. The Court may also take into account your father’s age at the time of the proceedings, his medical condition etc. (Case # 12529-04-21).
