a) I come from a polygamous family, the firstborn from my deceased fathers second wife.
Before his death, father had made a WILL produced after his death. My younger
brother and I were not considered in this WILL even though we are entirely dependent
on him. No explanation was given though, according to our mother we were deemed lazy
and indiscipline, thus the disentitlement. I would like to know whether the court can
interfere with the provisions of the written WILL for our sake.
