Which of the following is a common reason for a will to be contested?

A will can be contested for various reasons, but one of the most common grounds is the inconsistency with the testator's previous will. This can raise suspicions about the testator's intentions, particularly if the new will appears to contradict clear provisions made in earlier documents. Contesting parties might argue that the earlier will reflects the testator's true wishes, especially if the changes are substantial and not adequately explained, leading to challenges regarding the testator's capacity, undue influence, or lack of proper execution.

Although other factors, like a change in a beneficiary's address or concerns regarding legal fees, may affect the probate process or relationships among beneficiaries, they typically do not serve as strong legal bases for contesting a will. Similarly, while a testator’s choice of executor can cause disputes, it usually does not provide sufficient grounds for challenging the validity of a will itself. Inconsistencies with prior wills are more directly indicative of potential issues related to testamentary intent and capacity, making them a primary reason for contestation.
