Which of the following can challenge a will?

The ability to challenge a will is generally granted to any interested party who has a stake in the estate or is affected by the distribution of assets. An interested party can include a wide range of individuals such as family members, beneficiaries named in a prior will, or potential heirs who may feel they have a claim to the estate.

This means that even individuals who are not directly mentioned in the will—but who would inherit under intestacy laws or who may have been previously excluded—can contest the validity of the will on various grounds, such as lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution. The key factor is the interest in the outcome of the estate, which allows these parties to bring a challenge.

In contrast, other options suggest limiting the ability to challenge a will to specific groups, such as only family members, only those named in the will, or only legal representatives of the estate. These limitations do not align with the broader legal principle that any interested party, regardless of their relationship to the decedent or their status in the will, may seek to contest the will if they have legitimate grounds to do so.
