The probate court went according to the latest will - if the will was prepared under fraud, you would have to prove that the will was fraudulent and any property distribution should be determined based on the new will.
You need a probate attorney and you need to file a motion for a new probate hearing - the opposite side will fight you tooth and nail.

Yes it is possible in instances such as yours. However, the procedure for doing so is slightly different from state to state. I strongly suggest that you speak with an attorney. It may be that there is no need to revisit the settlement. It all depends on the documents and the circumstances. Please, see an attorney for sound legal advice in your area.
