Contested Will Probate Process

Summary

In Mississippi, if a property is held as tenants by the entirety with rights of survivorship, it typically passes to the surviving spouse without probate. However, with both parents deceased, probate may be necessary to transfer ownership. If a will is contested, gather evidence supporting its validity and consider hiring a new attorney. In this case, the brother contested the will, claiming another existed, and the will was set aside due to a missed court date. Legal representation is crucial to address these issues and reinstate the probate process.
