§ 1410. Who may file objections to probate of an alleged will

Any person whose interest in property or in the estate of the testator

would be adversely affected by the admission of the will to probate may

file objections to the probate of the will or of any portion thereof

except that one whose only financial interest would be in the

commissions to which he would have been entitled if his appointment as

fiduciary were not revoked by a later instrument shall not be entitled

to file objections to the probate of such instrument unless authorized

by the court for good cause shown. The objections must be filed on or

before the return day of the process or on such subsequent day as

directed by the court; provided however that if an examination is

requested pursuant to 1404, objections must be filed within 10 days

after the completion of such examinations, or within such other time as

is fixed by stipulation of the parties or by the court.
