The testator gave property away as gift prior to their death. Can others mentioned in the will sue this person?
No. First, a will doesn't become effective until after the death of the testator. Second, only the property owned by the testator at the time of death becomes part of the estate. If they gave away their property during life, that property is gone and whoever received the gift during the life of the testator is the rightful owner. Remember that a person can do what they want with their own property while they are alive and a will only distributes any property owned at death.

Is there tax on a pre-death estate dispersement to a child?
A "pre-death estate dispersement"?!?! That's just a fancy way of saying a "gift." It would be treated the same way as any other gift given to any undead person. The child would pay no tax, but the pre-deceased person (the gift giver) would be subject to the usual gifts taxes and possibly the generation-skipping transfer tax and the usual annual and lifetime gift tax exclusions would be available to the pre-deceased person. An "estate" does not come into existence until such time as a person has died. A pre-deceased person cannot make a dispersement from his/her estate because it does not yet exist, although they can direct that a dispersement be made from their estate once they have died by including their instructions in a "will" or equivalent legal instrument.
