You cannot contest a will at all if there is a no contest clause, or else the benefactor who made the contest will be entirely disinherited.

One of the requirements for contesting a will it that you somehow have a connection to the will and feel harmed by its contents. You either have to be named in the will, but feel that you should have inherited differently, or weren't named in the will and should have been named in it or would have received money if the person had died without a will.

You must have a valid reason to challenge a will, such as undue influence, fraud, mistake, or loss of mental capacity of the testator. Simply being upset with your inheritance amount isn't an actual reason to contest a will.

If you find that you cannot contest the will, you can file a lawsuit against the person who is receiving the property you think should be yours when the creator of the will is still alive.

It depends on the State in which a person is incarcerated as to the procedure of contesting a person's will. In most cases, getting in touch with a lawyer should be a great start.

You say, "I am going to a contest", this means you are going to watch a contest. "I am going for a contest", this is odd to say but means that you are hoping or choosing a contest. If you say "I am in/entering a contest", you are saying you are going to attend a contest.


If your spouse is in prison and wants a divorce can you contest it?

Yes, you have a legal opportunity to contest a divorce and the fact that your spouse is in prison (although that complicates things) doesnt really matter in this instance. However, when one spouse want s a divorce and goes through the motions of filing all the proper paperwork, etc there is not any way to really stop it absent a reconciliation. This is because the law views divorce as a partnership contract and you cannot keep someone in a contract against their will.
