In most states, the executor of the will can challenge any gifts given in the last two years prior to death. Yes, I believe the executor/ix would be obligated to challenge any transfers that it is believed was done under some type of undue or unfair influence of the recepient. However, not because the transfer just changed what the original beneficiary expected, wanted or thought they may receive. (Basically, the property was the decendants to do with as they wanted, until the time of death.)

Can you contest a will if property is tenants in common?
Can I as a tenant in common contest my late husbands will? I signed a transfer of property form stating that we were joint owners but it was never explained to me at any point that I was signing a 'tenants in common' agreement. I have lived in the property with my husband for 19 years and have invested thousands of pounds of my money on renovations. Now it transpires that I actually only own 40% of the property in a tenants in common agreement.

Not on that ground alone. Most states have no restrictions on that sort of thing. A will contest must go to the validity of document, not the treatment of beneficiaries.

Can a family member who was not made aware of the life estate contest the life estate and stop any potential sale of the property after the life tenants death?
Generally, an owner of property grants a life estate and provides for the fee to transfer to the remainderpersons after the death of the life tenant. In some states the property is transferred in fee subject to a life estate. Since a person has the right to transfer their own property by deed while living (or by their last will after their death) you would need to explain why you think you have grounds to "contest" the life estate. You can use the discussion page.
Can you contest the executor fee?
Executors have a big responsibility and do a lot of work behind the scenes that the beneficiaries don't generally realize. Executor's fees are set by statute for that reason. Greedy or angry beneficiaries wouldn't pay them if they weren't required to.
