Can a will made over ten years ago be contested by the person named on it that they are to receive nothing due to the way this person treated the one who made the will. |

No there is know marriage after making it. The recipient is one of two children should that one be deceased then it goes to his child ( grandchild ) of the one who made the will. |

It is not wise to leave somebody nothing in a will where they may reasonably expect something. The reason is that if the will is contested then there will be no pay out to anybody until the matter is settled. |

In theory adult children can make a claim for reasonable provision under the Inheritance Act 1975. Whether they succeed seems to be another matter. |

It is the daughter that might contest the will she is the one named, however she didn't bother at all with anything when her a Father died 10 years ago. |

It might be best if the main beneficiaries sought legal advice - most solicitors will give a short free consultation. With a bit of luck, they could be told that she's left it too late. |

It isn't me that would contest the will, however I have passed the info from you all onto the person needing it, verbally that is so your names aren't known but I thank you all sincerely for your help. |

One of the sites says that you must make a claim within 6 months of probate being granted, or ask for an extension, which may be granted in exceptional circumstances. |
