if you are a blood relative, i.e. a distributee, you'd have to sign a waiver prior to a judge probating the Will.. That's where you would raise your objections to it.
I'm an Estate lawyer in Ny.
If you're not related, but just a friend (i think that's what you said) then you can't really attack the validity of the Will personally, bc if the person died without the Will, you'd receive nothing regardless. I'd consult an Estate lawyer and discuss.
thanks the guy who died was my college roommate for 4 years, we used to go to the shore every summer even after i got married we'd still meet down at the shore him his father and sister , my wife and kid.in 2007 he called me told me he was dying and wanted me to have everything just share it with his next door neighbor, who ended up getting 30 percent now. i won't really care but i can't see this scumbag not even really giving us our percentages because he stole pretty much everything. he probably sold the guns illegally in new york. it was quite an arsenal italian beretta's am berettas ak47 with full gear bayonets eyc. an uzi and more.
