Possibly, depending on the facts of the situation and the law of the jurisdiction where the probate was done. Many states limit will contests to short periods of time like 6 months or even less. However, in New Jersey for example, if a person is one that is required to be given notice of the probate but didn't get it and if that person is otherwise not aware of the probate, a court might (stress:might) grant permission to file a will contest out of time. These are rare, because there is a real need to have finality in the transfer of a decedent's property. Consult an experienced lawyer to see if your situation fits the requirements.
