I have a question about a will. A woman(couple but the male died 18 months prior) I took care of for the last 4 years of her life and was friends with for 20 years before that passed away. When she passed they had a will naming me and a few others, all friends as they have no heirs. In NY all relatives to I believe the 5th level must be notified and 2 at the 5th level have decided to contest the well despite never knowing her(or her husband) The lawyer, who knew the couple well wrote their last three wills and is doing the probate. What is the honest chance the 2 distant relatives have in successfully challenging the will?
