Re: will
The statute of limitations states that a will must be probated within four years of the date of death. There is a potential exception if the propopent of the will wasn't in default. I'd recommend your speaking with an attorney to discuss all options. If this came across my desk, I would probably recommend coming to an agreement with all persons who wouldbe affected and see if they can agree how to split the remaining assets, and go from there.
Re: will
You need to see an attorney to determine what your options are. Important issues are where did the person die, was any disposition of the estate made (affidavits of heirship, administration, etc.) and what happened to other six persons.
