It is possible to contest a Will after probate, but it becomes more challenging. Once probate is granted, the Will is considered legally valid, and the executor can distribute the estate according to its terms.
To contest a Will after probate, one must apply for a “caveat” to prevent the distribution. However, this must be done before the grant of probate is issued.
If the grant has already been issued, challenging the Will requires proving exceptional circumstances or applying for a court order to set aside the grant. It is advisable to seek legal advice promptly to assess the viability of contesting a Will after probate.
