What are the remedies for intentional interference with an inheritance?
There were 4 heirs to a property inheritance. The eldest daughter attempted to disinherit the others by falsifying the Will/deed. She is now dead (karma) but has successors, a husband and 6 greedy children, who feel entitled to 100% of the property. What are the remedies for the other siblings?

I am so sorry for your loss and the situation. This guidance I am going to give you can only be a starting point becuase the specifics you have listed give me cause to stop and ask a whole bunch of other questions. Specifically, were you able to prove the real Will from the false one and has the real Will been probated? If not, then I think you should seek legal help ASAP. If there is a "false" Will you have to prove it was false and if a false deed have it thrown out and proceed either with the real Will or intestate. Your Sister's share would go to her family via her Will or intestacy. Good luck.
