Is there a time limit on challenging a will? Aunt died in 1999 leaving everything to my sister. Information has recently come to light which could make will invalid.

Usually 6 months but this period can be extended by a court. I could not advise without knowing more about the circumstances. If fraud is involved there probably is no time limit, and if information has only recently come to light it will depend upon whether that information could have been obtained at the time of probate.
