    It depends on the fraud - was your father coerced or unduly influenced? Is it a "pretend" Will? Was the probated Will NOT the last Will?

    Hello m:

    If you have evidence instead of just your beliefs, he will.

    Yes there is a will. The problem is a family member had poe over dads financial and
    Health issues while in nursing home.in this time he hoarded all assets in his position.will not talk about said will with rest of family.attorn has asked for deposit to get things rolling but he said we need to split the cost.he is holding ample amount of dads money for this but refuses.

    Hello again, m:

    It would be my advice that you DON'T pay THIS attorney a nickel. You need to get YOUR OWN attorney to represent YOUR interests. Forget the criminal stuff. Go get YOUR MONEY!!

    At this point, you need to hire an attorney to represent your rights in the probate process.

    What Excon said - plus I don't see criminal behavior here. If your brother refuses to put the Will into probate, then go to Probate Court and they will force the issues (at least in NYS).
