[Knives Out] Could the family successfully contest the Will?

Harlan altered his will to disinherit his entire family and bequeath his entire estate to his nurse Marta, only weeks before his death.

While the Thrombeys may have MANY negative qualities, and Marta may have been a very good person, any reasonable person would have reason to contest the will.

The fact that it was altered so suddenly, without anyone knowing the changes, including the family lawyer, by an aged man, who is receiving nightly doses of Morphine for pain management, and to the sole benefit of his caretaker and the complete exclusion of his family, is suspect.

Couple that with the fact that, although Marta did subconsciously give Harlen the right dose, she did actively hide her involvement, and it could be argued that her actions directly led to Harlen's suicide, as he only did so to help Marta protect her mother.

With all that in mind, do the Thrombeys have a case?

The family has standing to challenge the will, but they’d have to prove on what grounds. Harlan was far from being obviously incapable, the murder investigation proved he was of sound mind enough to cover up his own manslaughter in defense of another within minutes. Was Harlan under duress or undue influenced? Probably not. It was well documented that Harlan had recent family issues and family members admitted he intended to cut them all out. Other than that, there is no newer version of the will that we know of and the structure of the will is never mentioned.
