Holding
The court held that the widow, Maxine B. Dow, did not violate the will’s no-contest clause by pursuing a community property claim, asserting a creditor’s claim, or petitioning for family allowances, as these actions did not constitute a challenge to the will’s validity or its testamentary plan.
