Can a girlfriend contest a will in indiana?

Answer 1

I think she would first have to prove that she has a more established relationship than "girlfriend" to have any legal standing as an heir. She would then have to prove that the will was invalid for some reason (simply disagreeing with the distribution of the estate as specified by the will is not sufficient). If she has a contract or a claim as a creditor against the estate, she may be able to assert that claim against a part of the assets of the estate without necessarily contesting the terms of the will itself. Also, if she has a contract with the deceased that is contrary to the terms of the will, then she may be able to contest the will.
