Re: left nothing
You can contest the Will, but it is your burden to prove that the Will is not valid for a legal reason, such as the Decedent was under undue influence, other constraint, lacked capacity to make a Will, mistake, etc..
This is the classic Will contest case, the children of the first marriage against the girlfriend or second wife. It is not uncommon for a dad to leave everything to his current wife, believing that she may need the money and that she will give it to his children at some later time. It does not mean that he didn't love you or forgot to provide for you.
You must take action at once, if you are going to do so. The children can come together and perhaps hire one lawyer to represent all of you.
