Without going in to too much detail (on my part) can a second husband contest a will that leaves a second home (not marital home) to step children that was solely in his wife's name but he claims was bought with his money (from inheritance) and went into her name purely for convenience at the time. Even though he is adequately provided for (with hundreds of thousands in the joint bank account) and a family home (bought by his wife but put in joint names) and has himself never worked and always lived off his wife. In short he came to the marriage with nearly nothing and married someone wealthy with a good income. Under what grounds, if any, would he be able to contest the will/make a claim against the estate in the uk. In short, my mother has died leaving the marital home and contents of bank account to her 2nd husband and a second home to me.
