It is not known whether the sons will contest the will. However, because Lewis left them nothing and a no-contest clause was not included, then a challenge to the will is not a risk to them.

If you would like to exclude any children of yours from your estate plan, then it is important that you do so properly.

An estate planning attorney can advise you about the best way to do so. In some cases, it might be best to leave your children something small, so they cannot claim they were accidentally forgotten. In other cases, it might be best to include a no-contest clause.
