Will contests must be brought forward within two years of the document's admission to probate. During that time, I suppose any number of interested parties could make varying claims. However, it would be a rare case indeed that an interested party did not participate in the contest and came around after the fact with new claims. The rules of notice are designed to prevent this very thing -- so that all of the litigation can be handled at the same time.
