Not every will is the final word.
In Texas, a will can be contested in court if there is reason to believe it was signed under undue influence, if the person lacked mental capacity at the time of signing, if the will was forged or improperly executed, or if a more recent valid will exists.
Will contests are some of the most emotionally charged cases in probate litigation. They often involve aging parents, estranged family members, late-in-life changes to documents, and caregivers who may have taken advantage of a vulnerable person.
If you believe a will does not reflect what your loved one truly wanted, or that someone manipulated them into changing it, you have the right to challenge it in a Texas probate court. But time matters. Texas law sets deadlines for contesting a will after it is admitted to probate.
