In her will, my late mother bequeathed her entire estate to my brother and disowned my sister and me. We believe that he pressured her into leaving everything to him, because she spent her last years living in his house (in a separate unit). We would like to object to his application for probate. How should we proceed?

In your objection to probate, you should detail your claim about the undue influence that you claim your brother put on your late mother and ask to cancel the will she made under the influence. The Court will consider all the circumstances surrounding the signing of the will by your late mother (“The Interwoven threads” rule), if there is basis and proof for your claim (Case 70397-03-24).
