Causes for contesting will after probate
Official statutory text
When a will has been admitted to probate, any person interested
therein may at any time within three (3) months from the date the
will was admitted to probate contest the same or the validity of the
will. For that purpose he must file in the court in which the will
was proved a sworn petition in writing containing his allegations,
that evidence discovered since the probate of the will, the material
facts of which must be set forth, shows:
1. That a will of a later date than the one proved by the
decedent, revoking or changing the will, has been discovered, and is
offered; or
2. That some jurisdictional fact was wanting in the probate; or
3. That the testator was not competent, free from duress,
menace, fraud, or undue influence when the will allowed was made; or
4. That the will was not duly executed and attested.
