The final Will with the latest date on it is the one that counts and it doesn't matter how many Wills your father had before that. I went through something similar with my mother. I was her caregiver and she was diagnosed with Dementia. It was so sad as she blamed me (caregivers get this a lot) and was quite paranoid. She took me out of her Will giving everything to my brother. I didn't fault my mother for this, but made sure my brother and his wife knew I would contest the Will. It's a terrible situation to be in because you feel so bad fighting over what's left of that person's life, but my husband and I gave up much to help my mom out, while my brother got to raise his family. Thank heavens my brother is an honest and fair guy and we split everything down the middle. They did get a little more money because they had two boys and I don't have childen. That was OK by me and I wasn't greedy. They also got most of my mom's furnishings because I didn't care for the style and they really needed more up-to-date furniture. The whole procedure went as slick as grease. You can contest the Will. You will have to go to a lawyer for this one. Most Heirs to a Will don't want anyone to contest the Will because it can hold the Estate in limbo for 3 years or more. I think they'd be ready for settlement. Please don't dislike your father for leaving you out. As parents get older they get strange ideas and sometimes one or more in the family gets the brunt of their anger. No one likes to grow old. Good luck Marcy If you were in any way dependent on your father, lived with him etc, then you may have grounds for contesting the will. Depends how much there is if it is worth the cost, solicitors are very expensive, upwards of

The preamble has nothing to do with individual rights. It only states the purpose of the constitution. It is the Bill of Rights that protects individual rights.
The preamble states the purpose of the constitution, and the constitution protects your rights and welfare. Beyond that it has nothing to do with those things.

Many rights were not in the original Constitution of the United States. The rights of freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the right to keep and bear arms, freedom from slavery, voting rights, women's rights, and many more were not present. The Bill of Rights added most of these freedoms, but the end of slavery, voting rights, and the rights of women were not established until much later.
