We're are in blended families and wondering if we can contest a will in case we haven't received any inheritance from my dad? But this will be a long process and it will cost expensive. Do you have any suggestions or ways to avoid it or should I ask my dad about it? Thanks!

Who is "we"? Blended families can be complex.
His but not hers. Hers but not his. Theirs.
Not everyone getting on with, or even really knowing, each other.
And sometimes, parents and children estranged.
People who are together for years and years, but one who never formally got divorced from the "former".

You and your dad need a long conversation, yes, and a lawyer to write it properly.
This is not a situation where a DIY on a form from the newsagent is going to be any help.
