I can't advise on Ontario law.

I think in Alberta the niece would be out of luck. Only a spouse or child can challenge a Will (assuming the testator had capacity, and there was no undue influence in the creation of the will).

Alberta statutes:

Wills Act:

Dependants Relief Act:

Adminstration Of Estates Act:
