Question

If I, as a named beneficiary in a will issued in New Orleans, LA feel that having only been left a lamp is not enough, for I am one of two remaining living relatives of the deceased, and I want to try to get money from the estate, how likely is it that I will I be successful and how could I show that the deceased was not thinking clearly when he constructed the will.

Answer

You will need an attorney to dispute the will. A will dictates the legacies and it would be any person disputing the makers written wishes to prove that the maker was not competent at the time the will was made or that the will was not made by the deceased.
