Was there a written will establishing who got what? (That is different from a living will, probably drawn up by an attorney). If not, State law would dictate how the estate would be distributed, and that would be under the control of a Judge. Yes, someone can contest a will and family members can sue about such issues. You should trust the Judge, but if you don't think his/her ruling is fair, then appeal. You might want to get your own attorney to protect your interests (money and otherwise).
