The executor aka widowsubmitted into probate a will which has not the authentic signature of the decesed and now will is being contested what is the next step if probate will is tossed out?

If a will is tossed out, you next see if there is any previously signed will that has not been revoked. If there is such a will, then that will is offered for probate. If that will is also challenged and tossed out, you look for the next earlier dated will and offer that one for probate. This goes on until either a valid will is probated or there are no other wills. If there are no other valid wills, then you apply for letters of administration and proceed under the state's laws of intestate succession.
