Yes there is a time limitation known as a Statute of Limitations. You may not bring an action to contest the trust more than 120 days from the date the notification to the beneficairies by the trustee is served upon you or 60 days from the date on which a copy of the terms of the trust is mailed or personally delivered to you during that 120-day period, whichever is later. This can be very confusuing so if you think you have good reason to contests the trust sek legal help asap. Good luck.
