A cousin can contest a will but only if by winning the contest, the cousins will inherit a part of the estate that they would not inherit under the will. In short, the cousins have to have "standing" to contest a will. "Standing" generally means having some kind of stake in the outcome of the case. As an example, assume the will gives everything to the decedent's children and that if the will were set aside the children would get the estate anyway by intestacy or perhaps by an earlier will, then the cousins may not challenge the will because they get nothing even if they are successful. Another situation is if the cousins are the only heirs of a decedent, but the decedent's will gives everything to other people, then they can sue. It is not the status as "cousin" that determines whether they may contest the will. Standing confers that right. Standing comes from having a stake in the outcome of the will contest.
