Contesting a Will in Probate

What is the legal procedure for contesting a family will of testament? (This
would be for the state of Maine where the testator lived)Mostof the heirs to
the will live in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts, 1 heir does live in
Maine.
Do you need legal counsel in order to contest a will?
This Will has been open for 10 years (which I find extremely odd) and we
just now got a Petition for Order of Insolvency, Report & Establishment of
Insolvency along with Examination of Creditors Claims by Court and a
Certificate of Service and we now only have 20 days to contest this Will.
(of which I find this "short" number of days suspicious)
Are reasoning for contesting this Will is that insufficient copies of the
Testaor\'s records,such as Bank Accounts, Investments, PAGE 1 of Federal &
State Income Tax form \"not included\" - they did include PAGE 2 of these
forms.
Any advice would be appreciated as soon as possible - given the 20 day
limit for contesting this Will.

You can simply file in court--something does seem a bit odd if this is still open after ten years...

If you suspect or allege wrongdoing you can demand a full accounting.

Normally you would want a lawyer to assist with this kind of issue.
