In Massachusetts a will can be contested on many grounds such as:
 

​Lack of capacity - The issue is whether the testator lacked the mental capacity to create/sign the will. Will contests based upon the testator's lack of mental capacity are common types of will contests.
 

​Undue Influence - . An undue influence probate challenge relates to whether the testator made a will freely, without being coerced by another person(s). For example, a person may pressure an elderly individual to leave all of their property/assets to that individual, omitting family members that typically would be entitled to the inheritance.
