How long does one have to contest a probate willin UK?

If you wish to contest a will by making a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975, by arguing that inadequate provision has been made for you in the will, this claim must be brought within 6 months of probate being granted. Alternatively, should you wish to contest a will on the grounds that you believe the will to be invalid you can contest at any time - however, the later you leave it the more likely it is that the assets will have been distributed making claiming anything back more difficult. In fact, most solicitors would advise that it would not be possible to contest a will after 6 months from the grant of probate.

Only when a complete inventory has been finished and the debts identified can the estate be closed. You should probably consult with a probate attorney for the state that you are in.
