Re: Left out of will
Sure you have a right(standing) to contest your parents' will. However, unless you can prove that your parents lacked the necessary testamentary capacity to properly execute the will(unlikely) or that the will was the product of undue influence, duress, coercion, or some other factor
that was brought to bear upon your parents and which, consequently, caused the will not to reflect their true intentions as to named beneficiaries, you would be unlikely to prevail in a challenge to the will in the circuit court having jurisdiction over the matter.
