A no-contest clause under the law of wills and estates provides that if a beneficiary contests the will, they will automatically lose their share of the will
No-Contest Clause In Will
A no-contest clause within a will states that a beneficiary will lose everything they were going to inherit upon a person’s death should they contest the will.
Some states disfavor no-contest clauses and do not enforce them. In these states, even if a beneficiary contests the will they would still be entitled to what was originally left for them under the will.
