This can be an easy question to give guidance on or one of the most difficult. The obvious answer would be to check the date that the Will was signed and witnessed. If it is a recent signature - and you know that the Will was written and signed years ago - then you know it has been updated. Now, just because it was updated does not necessarily make it invalid. People can change their wills any time. But if you think that someone influenced her to do so then that is something you need to speak with an attorney about Good luck.
