In most cases, anyone who contests a will must file the relevant documents with
the probate court. This person must be an heir or “interested party” and must have
grounds to successfully contesting a will (their simple dissatisfaction or unhappiness
with the proposed distribution of property is not seen as a valid reason for contention).
Valid grounds include incapacity, fraud, undue influence and duress
and can vary from state to state as can the time limit for contesting a will.
