How do we obtain deceased mother's bank funds?

It sounds like the will is not valid and you will need to open a probate unless there is a co-owner on the account or a payable on death beneficiary.

Can we still get a trust in addition to our will?

David Goldman

Obviously you were not taking with a lawyer. I am not saying you need a trust, but to state that if you do not have over 3 million you do not need a trust is crazy. No one needs one, but almost all can benefit from one. If you would like to talk about it, I would be happy to discuss your specifics in a free consultation and tell you the advantages and disadvantages for your specific situation.

Is it possible to contest this will?

Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
Not really. There is no Will giving you any rights. Your parents would have better standing than you to contest the Will. However, since he was survived by a daughter, without a Will, she would have gotten everything anyhow, being the closest relative to him. So the Will gives something to his siblings that they would not have otherwise received without that Will. It probably wouldn't be a good idea for them to contest it either because of this.
