Not 100% on this. however, it is a duty of any executor to properly contact ALL beneficiaries, if they have failed to properly contact a beneficiary they are strictly liable and you may raise an action against them. If it is simply that you wish to contest the will, you will probably require to consult the Prescription and Limitations (Scotalnd) Act or the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964 which will probably specify the timescales for raising an action.
