How can I gather confidential information about a dead relative without an attorney?
March 21st, 2011 | 
Author: I need information on two jointly- held bank accounts. Also I want to find out why they were not listed in my grandmother’s will. Plus, I want to gather information about my dead grandmother from her landlord, e.g. why she was asked to move. Do I need a subpoena since they refuse to disclose anything, and how do I get one without an attorney? This problem is based in Delaware and I am not a beneficiary, but want to contest the will on the grounds of undue influence plus mental incapacity. How do I do that?

You will have to consider hiring a private investigator. Contesting a will would have to be done by an attorney. Courts generally follow the will unless there is absolute proof of wrong doing.
In reality you probably will not be able to move ahead without a lawyer, you will need to look up under Delaware law the elements required, and then file a complaint not easy
Also on the Joint accounts there is really nothing that can be done, since Joint Accounts do not pass through probate or subject to a will but pass directly to the other person named on the account
