Best Answer

Generally you may contest a will if you think there are serious technical errors or have other serous doubts about the veracity. However, if you are dis-satisfied with your portion under the will you can check your state laws regarding election by the surviving spouse. In most jurisdictions a surviving spouse can elect to claim an intestate share of the estate (i.e., as though there was no will) if that would result in their receiving a larger portion. The process to make such a claim is usually simpler and less costly than contesting the will.
