Yes, they can, as can anybody, contest a will. However, the facts will determine who will provail. If you are local, feel free to call me.

Anyone can contest a will just like anyone can sue anybody. It is another matter whether he or she has standing to do so, or whether he or she would be successful. You and your husband should have your wills carefully crafted by an attorney so that the possibilities of a successful challenge would be minimized.
