a lawsuit challenging the validity of a will and/or its terms. Bases for contesting
a will include the competency of the maker of the will (testator) at the time the
will was signed, the "undue influence" of someone who used pressure to force the
testator to give him/her substantial gifts in the will, the existence of another
will or trust, challenging illegal terms or technical faults in the execution of
the will, such as not having been validly witnessed. A trial of the will contest
must be held before the will can be probated, since if the will is invalid, it cannot
be probated.
