In a will contest, you have to prove that someone had undue influence over the person who made the will and that someone got something that he should not have gotten.

WHEN was the will made?

Has probate been opened?

Since you waited a year, it may be too late to contest it now.

Will was made in 1999, I don't believe that it has gone into probate.I believe we have until Sept. to contest the will.
A will that was made five years ago is going to be very hard to contest.

Good luck.
