In fact no will can be contested until it is probated. ==Clarification== If the will has already been "probated" and the statutory during which it could be contested has passed, then it's too late to contest that will. Check with the court as soon as possible.

∙ 15y agoYes, if for example only one part was the product of undue influence. For example where a friend unduly influences a testator to sign a will and included a paragraph giving himself a sum of money, a court could find that the testator knew what she was doing and wanted to sign the will except for the gift to the friend. As a matter of equity, the court would not harm all the other genuinely intended beneficiaries by throwing the entire will out.

What is a contested hearing?
"Contested" means that the parties do not agree on some issue or statement of facts pertaining to the matter before the court. There will be a hearing before the judge where each party will present their position. The judge will make a decision at that hearing or within a short period thereafter and will then issue a court order. The court order will be binding on both parties unless there is an appeal made to a higher court.
