A.Hi,
The 2008 will shall have the protection of law. If you doubt its authenticity, you can have it probated. You can also disprove it by showing that your father was of unsound mind when he drafted it.

A.Hi,
Yes, your father's most recent will shall have the force of law, unless you can prove that he was of unsound mind at the time he drafted it.
