My brother died a couple weeks ago. He had a girlfriend that was a controlling [View all]

bitch, she turned him against all his friends and family. My younger brother went to their house one day when his first daughter was born. The next day she calls my mother and tells her my brother John doesn't want him or his dam kids around any more, this was 20 plus years ago. I rarely visited my brother because of her but a little over a year ago she passes away, she was 12 years older than my brother. Since then I had become close to my brother again even though he was in a drunken state most of the time. His girlfriend had 7 children and none of them ever lived with them or was even close to my brother. He tells me a few days after his girlfriend died that her daughter hit him up for him to put her in his will. So anyway the months go by and my brother becomes ill and tells me he cut the daughter off she was hitting him up for money constantly. He said he quit answering the phone and the door when she came. Then he starts telling me he had to get in touch with a lawyer to make a will and get things set up. We discussed who should be the executer and he said he was going to make me beneficiary. So he keeps putting things off and while I am on vacation he comes down with a stroke and was never able to do a will. I fly back home and a few days latter after he was sent to a nursing home I walk in the room and there is the daughter with a big grin saying John made a will and gave everything to me. I find out he did make the will just after his girlfriend of 54 years died and was drinking a fifth of whiskey every day. The last 5 months of his life I had sent him to the ER 4 times and he was admitted to the hospital 2 times. I took him to I don't know how many doctors appointments and bought him groceries and I had only met this women one time at her mothers funeral over a year ago. it appears she now has an estate of around $400000 and I get nothing. I have done some reading on this and in the case of a fraudulent will it is almost impossible to beat and cost a fortune.
