Could he, as a third party, delay the proceedings with a caveat or lawsuit if he believed he was entitled to compensation from the deceased?

Well, he could contest the will, if he asserted there was a later will, maybe one in which the wealthy woman leaves a gift to the charity of his choice. It's hard to imagine any other way a person not a devisee in the will could cause any delay. How about making your main character the person the wealthy woman named as her personal representative, so he is probating the will? Instantly, everybody hates him at that point.

As an heir at law of your mother you should consider filing a claim against the estate of your grandmother, if an estate was opened for her. If no estate was opened and more than a year has passed since her death, no estate can be opened but you could retain counsel an institute an action to determine heirship. In either of these situations you need to hire an attorney.

As long as it's revocable and the trust language allows you to amend it and/or restate it can easily be done. The new attorney will most likely want to restate the entire trust just keep the original name.
