Your Father just passed away I was told I was not in the will I you have a right to ask to read the will and can you also contest it?

Answer 1

I don't know why you would not be allowed to read your father's will. But if you have not been named in his will you certainly can contest it. Did your father, prior to his death, at any time tell you he planned to leave you something specific in his will, or include you in the division of his estate? If there is another family member or reliable friend that can coroberate this in any way it would help. Unless you suspect foul play, you have to understand that your father could, for any reason, exclude you from the will and it is perfectly legal. Fighting that will might just cost you a lot of money and not get you the results you want. You might talk to the executor of the will and see if they know why your dad left you out. Somebody in the family probably knows something, and if I were you, I'd want to know why.
