Contest it how and why? I am going to have to assume that you are saying someone died and had a girlfriend or someone else as the beneficiary on a life insurance policy and not his wife. If this is the case she can try but she will not be successful in contesting it. A life insurance application and policy make up a legally binding contract. If he did not put her as beneficiary it was because he was forgetful or didn't want to leave her the money. In either case the court will side with the only evidence of his intention which is his last beneficiary designation which was signed and witnessed and is legally binding. She will be wasting legal fees.
