you may challenge the will in civil court, provided limitation period is not gone.

the suit may be filed through a Special Power of Attorney....but at the time of evidence your presence will be required.

the kind of facts you have mentioned, need a strong evidence to support your case.

better meet some local lawyer with entire set of documents for proper step.
