A person would contest a will if he felt that he was treated unfairly or was cheated by someone.
Here are some examples:
Joe cared for his mother the last five years of her life. She had Alzheimer's and was very difficult. She also began confusing Joe with his late father, John. When she died the will gave everything to her son John.
Anne hired Selena to be a nurse for her mom in her final months. Anne paid for the nursing care because she wanted her mom to live at home to the end. When the mom died, Anne discovered that Selena had convinced mom to change her will just the week before she died, leaving everything to the nurse and nothing to the daughter.
Tom had been told many times that he would inherit his father's farm. But when dad died, a lawyer Tom never heard of produced a will leaving everything to the lawyer. Tom didn't even think the signature was that of his father.
These are all examples of wills that could and should be contested.
