No. The only way to contest a will is to notify all of the beneficiaries as part of the case.
If someone is trying to contest it, if you are a beneficiary, you have to be notified by the executor of the estate.
The only people that can contest a will are named beneficiaries and anyone that would inherit if there was no will at all.

I'm pretty sure that you can contest the will (IF) YOU ARE EXEUTOR or co-exeutor. But one or the other is gonna know. Now as far as the others mentioned in the will.---- They might not know right off that you have contested the will, but eventually they will because the attorney will have to send them a letter.
Now If you are just a heir I'm sure the exeutor has to be notified by the attorney that is handling the will.

You can only contest a will after the death of the person who wrote it. If you contest it, then obviously the current beneficiaries will know, because probate will be delayed.

Oh, so you feel you were cheated do you. Now you want to go behind other peoples backs and take from them.
Just go get a gun and shoot all of them and then you will be the sole beni---prisoner to get all that money.
No that might be the wrong thing to do. Can you call them and pretend you are a lawyer and send them some other place while the will is being decided.
There must be something you can do to steal from them.

Let me guess...you want more. I love the way a death brings selflessness out in people.
Do not be ashamed that your greed will become known to the others in the will.
Edit:
Perhaps I am too harsh. Maybe you are concerned that another party will contest the will? If so, my apologies.
