Lawyers help me please i know its long but I really need your help A.S.A.P?

My father died 1year ago.He has 6 kids well hes rich and has more then 10 million dollers in the bank he owned 40 houses and sold 20 out of all his kids im the youngest im 17 and his kids are like 40 50 30 and my father is 76. So my sister from my father side is a lawyer and so is her husband she made him sign papers saying i will be excluded meaning i wont have nothing and she excluded my brother from my dad side to because we have diffrent mothers and she dislikes us because of that. So she made dad sign papers i mean my dad dont know **** about anything he cant read he cant write the only thing he does is speak english and not even that he can do correctly because he was born in Capeverde and came here when he was 35 or something.i know my sister told him to sign papers and he dont even know what the hell he signing and everybody laughed when they read that testament saying its not true that dad would never do that and we know she lying but how can i prove to the judge that is a fraud. Also she has the best lawyer some lawyer told me they can't do nothing about it a will is a will and my brother contest the will already and they are in progress She mailed us the will and I don't know it seemed fishy because she crossed out a word that changes the whole sentence meaning and I don't think you supposed to cross out anything from the will and put a diffrent word on top of it. She could retype it but hmm its seems very fishy I don't know what to do she always pays lawyers to be on her side and My brother has money he paid the lawyer but he tells me to get a free lawyer and I don't think it will do me much good what do you guys think about this Sorry for my horrible grammer i typed to fast very sorry My mom don't want no part of this and ihave no money so i cant pay any lawyer Is in the u.s

1. Honey, you are seventeen, you are a minor child, get a lawyer ASAP,(your legal guardian) should hire the lawyer,not a "free" one, but a real one. Good luck to you. P.S there are lawyers that would take your case based on contingency, this means that their fees will be collected after you collect, make sure you get in writing how much that fee will be, you should also go to your local court house and find out what are the legal steps you should take in case your legal guardian does not want to help. Is she your only legal guardian? look up some local lawyers that deal with family it should be the best way to find out about your situation.
2. There are many sites on the web where you can get legal questions answered free check them out
3. Get a probate lawyer. You are not going to resolve this on Y!A.
4. Where is all this happening? In the US, UK, Capeverde, Portugal? In the US, if your brother is already challenging the will and he convinces the judge that it is not a valid will, and there is no other valid will, your father's estate will pass to his heirs according to the laws of the state where he lived at the time of his death. This usually means that any woman he was married to at the time of his death gets a share and all of his children get a share. So your brother's actions could benefit you in the end. If you are 17, you cannot get any lawyer in the US to take your case unless your parent/legal guardian helps you. If you want your own lawyer, "free" or not, you need your mother's help.
