Last Call - Abrupt Change To Dads Will, Typed/unsigned Note Left Behind

Location: MN

in the five years before my dads death, he inherited a large sum of money from his own parents.

During this time he had two (known) strokes and an anoxic brain injury.

After his first stroke, he was discovered living in a hotel and was removed bc he was urinating on the floor and refusing to let staff clean.

I have an email from the probate lawyer who managed my dads inheritance from his parents saying that he was concerned about my dads mental/physical health.

My younger brother who was living with my dad began spending very large sums of money (purchased multiple new cars) that were inconsistent with his income in a low-paying job.

Although I made many attempts to reach my dad and help with his care, I was excluded by my younger brother who said that I couldn’t help bc I live in a different state and refused to communicate at all after that. —————————————————

After my dad died (this year), I was told by his lawyer that I had been written out of his will last year.

In the same month that he wrote me out of his will, he was hospitalized for ten days and then discharged to a nursing home (instead of his own home) for permanent care. He also left me a very confused voicemail with no mention of writing me out of his will or being upset.

The lawyer forwarded me a typed, unsigned note from my dad stating that I had been written out of his will for moving out of state for a job and getting married.

I have spoken to several probate litigators about contesting his will on the basis of cognitive impairment and possible undue influence. Most said they couldn’t take the case bc they were too busy. Two agreed to take it, and then one of them stopped responding to emails.

I am trying to come to terms with this and let it go, but had to give it a last shot. Based on the limited info above, is this worth pursuing or is it better just to move on?

I love my dad very much. Please try to be kind.
