In Canada, one has 6 months from the date that probate was granted in court to contest or apply to vary the will.
Generally, you should check the return date in the notice you receive. It will state the date on which a hearing will be scheduled and at which you can make your objection.

∙ 11y agoIf 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.
