A will can always be contested. However, you can set it up so that if a person contests it, there can be negative effects for the person so contesting. For example, if you bequeath something to someone, you can add a stipulation that if they contest the will, the gift or amount they would receive would be eliminated or reduced, if that party chooses to contest (and loses) that part of your will would then kick in.
