What are the Grounds under which a Will after a Probate can be contested

The Succession Act provides for certain grounds on which a Probate of a Will may be revoked, however such revocation can only be effected if the person challenging the Probate is able to convince the competent court that it is necessary to revoke the Probate 'for just cause'. Further for challenge of a probate, the law of limitation must also be abided by, as probate operates as a 'right in rem' granted by the competent court, operates from the date of grant of the probate, therefore a challenge which is hopelessly barred by limitation cannot be entertained by any court of law. Further, an order of revocation of the Probate would operate prospectively and such revocation does not obliterate bona fide transactions entered into by the executor during the pendency of the Probate. The challenger can challenge the Probate of Will on the following grounds:
1. The proceedings to obtain the grant of Probate were defective in substance; or
2. The grant of Probate was obtained fraudulently by making a false suggestion, or suggestion, or by concealing from the court something material to the case; or
3. The grant of Probate was obtained by means of an untrue allegation of a fact essential in point of law to justify the grant, though such allegation was made in ignorance or inadvertently; or
4. The grant of Probate has become useless and inoperative through circumstances; or
5. The person to whom the grant of Probate was made has willfully and without reasonable cause omitted to exhibit an inventory or account in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VII of this Part, or has exhibited under that Chapter an inventory or account which is untrue in a material respect.

It is also an out product of the different racial and linguistic interactions in the society. Relying on other peoples husband when they are boyfriend less.
