Why does there have to be a public record in the papers of a death for a will to be contested?

My grandfather died back in January and only now is the solicitor has decided to make a public record of his death in the paper to which asks if anyone wants to contest the will, is this standard UK law or is it an optional requirement to which the solicitor gets more money?
Never heard of this one.
If the will is written soundly why or indeed how could anyone contest it?
I obtained probate on the estate of my mother-in-law (UK) without doing this.
The will is a public document anyway.
