It is not that simple of an answer. Here are some cites for you to review and determine if it applies in your circumstance. Furthermore. specific estates (those trusts and wills) that limit a family member's right to or prohibit the right to challenge anything in the will or trust will not need a statute of limitations analysis. Did the person pass without a will or trust (i.e., intestate)?
