Spanish term or phrase: para que les cause perjuicio
This is the case of a son who is contesting his father's will. The exact sentence is from the attorney who is representing the son and is as follows: ..."igualmente solicito se ordene dar vista, notificar y emplazar a juicio a los herederos y legatarios que se nombran en dicho testamento para que les cause perjuicio."

affecting them materially
Explanation:
I believe the attorney is arguing a share or larger share of the inheritance for his client. If granted, this would have a material or economic effect on the heirs and legatees mentioned in the will.
