What I think you're asking is who has standing to challenge the will on the basis of undue influence or soundness of mind. GENERALLY speaking, a potential heir at law under intetstate succession (i,e,. a person who would be entitled to inherit if there were no will) would have legal standing to mount a will contest. BUT, as posted above it is very state specific.
I would suggest you get a copy of the will (available at the court clerks office if the will has been probated) and visit a good lawyer who handles this type of matter. And do it post haste as there are pretty tight statutes of limitations in will contest. If you have a solid chance some lawyers would take it on contingency. That being said, will contests are some of the most vicious lawsuits around and require a LOT of work.
