What is the statue of limitations for contesting a will in New York City?

There are many factors involved in answering this question, including from when the statute of limitations begins to run.

A will can be contested for the following reasons:

• The will was not properly executed
• The will was the result of fraud or undue influence
• Another valid will is discovered
• Other exceptions

From my understanding, after probate is completed, it is typically not possible to contest a will.
