No. And why is he contesting the will? Unless there is a prior will, if the will is deemed invalid then under NY Intestacy laws the property would be divided 50/50.

I agree with Dave and Mike, adding that it should have been decided already. Is the litigation to contest the Will or your equal ownership? A suit for partition might be considered as an alternative way to resolve the matter.
