    I think take the evidence to the Solicitor and they can make the decision, a hand writing expert could assist... you want someone who deals with contentious probate and will probably be looking at no win no fee for the funding.

    I would try the solicitor holding the Will first. If it's no win no fee, they will do an initail interview free and then you sign an agreement. This means if they recover any money, they can be paid from that.
