OPINION OF THE COURT
Renee R. Roth, S.
Seeking to establish standing to contest the admission to probate of the will of Sidney Janis, Robin Ladas, an alleged nonmarital child, moves to exhume decedent’s body for the purpose of conducting deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing, which she contends will prove that Mr. Janis was her father. Robin is not a beneficiary under the propounded instrument, which disposes of decedent’s estate to his two marital sons and their issue. Robin is, however, the income beneficiary and presumptive remainderman of an inter vivas trust established by decedent.
