Can I get estate reopended if a copy of a will to be executed was found at attorneys office in Mississippi to be executed?

In Mississippi, like in many other jurisdictions, the validity and execution of a will are governed by specific laws. Generally, for a will to be considered valid, it needs to comply with certain requirements, such as being in writing, signed by the testator (the person making the will), and witnessed by at least two competent individuals who also sign the will.

If a will was found at an attorney’s office but was not signed by the testator, it would likely not be considered a legally valid will. Without the proper execution, the document may not be legally enforceable. However, it’s worth noting that laws can vary, and there may be exceptional circumstances or specific legal procedures that could affect the situation.

If you believe that there are valid grounds to challenge or reopen an estate based on the will found at the attorney’s office, you should consult with a qualified attorney in Mississippi who can provide you with the most accurate advice based on the specific details of your case. They will be able to guide you through the legal process and help you understand the available options.
