    Have you, or can you get, evidence that your father was senile at the time the new will was drafted? I believe, and no doubt will be corrected if I am wrong, that the will is invalid if he could be shown to be not of sound mind at the time of signing.

        Agree with Ostell as lack of testamentary capacity is grounds for contesting a will.
        To protect your interests you'd be well advised to enter a caveat to stop your sister obtaining a grant of representation whilst you organise the evidence Ostell refers to.
