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.

Probably not unless there are very very special circumstances. Whether you can or not depends on the laws of the state of probate. But even if you were in time to contest the will, the fact that only one of four siblings was named as a beneficiary is not, by itself, grounds to contest a will.

What is a probate?
At death, your will goes through probate. Probate simply means the process by which your last will is determined to be your final dispositive statement and which confirms the appointment of the person or institution you have named to administer your estate.

In this sense, probate means the process by which assets are gathered, applied to pay debts, taxes and expenses of administration, and distributed to those designated as beneficiaries in the will.

Can a will still be contested six months after probate?
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.
