Yes. However, they must convince the court that there exists a material defect in the will such as undue influence or legal incapacity. Being unhappy about the distribution of the estate is not a valid reason to contest the Will. A parent has the right to distribute their property as they see fit or to disinherit a child as long as the Will has been properly drafted. They can file an objection to the Will in the court where the petition for probate was filed. The objection must be made in a timely manner and the date by which it must be filed will be stated in the notice from the court once the Will has been filed for allowance.

If the person thinks they have a valid claim they should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law who can review the Will and explain the options. Or, they can simply file an objection within the time allowed and then explain the objection to the judge.
