My father in law recently passed away, and he had always told my husband and his brother what he intended to go to them after his death. Well my mother in law is an extremely greedy person and she changed her husband's will so that she would get everything and the sons nothing. She has not yet submitted this fake will into probate but we have already had a handwriting expert examine a copy of this fake will and she has concluded it was forged and there was also difference in typeing (2 different typewriters were used to type up this will) can we force this into probate?. so she would have to submit this forged will, or come up with the real will? Also he had money in a cd account at the bank that for the last 20 years had been in his name only (that he intended to go to his sons) we just found out somehow (probably forgery) she got it changed into a joint account with her getting full survivorship, he had been in bad health and didn't even get out of the house the last few years of his life, so we feel she may have someone at the bank (a friend of hers) help her get this account changed to jointly. She has now went to the bank and withdrawn all of this money from the cd and has hid it somewhere! How can we get a hold of these bank records to have them examined for forgery? Besides the probate court, can we file a civil suit against her? We are still in the process of finding an attourney(not many are interested in contesting a will) so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
