[WSBAPT] Later will

[Roger Hawkes]

You probably will get a probate commenced.  But prior will may be meaningless if assets passed some other way.  Best to get started right away and give notice to everyone under the sun.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Later will

I want to admit an earlier will to probate even though there was a later will executed shortly before his death for the reason that the later will was due to undue influence and earlier will was consistent with previous life estates he had granted.  I assume in my petition I have to refer to the later will and give notice of hearing on petition to all interested parties. The testator died 2.5 years ago and the PR named in that will has not started probate although requested to do so. IF the PR named in the later does not move for it admission, shouldn't the court admit the earlier will to probate without me proving the later will is defective for whatever reason? You input would be appreciated thanks
