When Conflict Disrupts the Probate Process: 

Probate, the legal process of administering a deceased individual's estate, can become contentious when disagreements about the validity of a will or the distribution of assets surface. While every case is different, some of these conflicts can arise from:

  • Undue Influence: A beneficiary may be challenged if there is evidence that they pressured the deceased into changing their will.
  • Lack of Testamentary Capacity: If the deceased's mental state was compromised when they signed the will, its validity can be contested.
  • Fraud: Intentional misrepresentation or concealment of information related to the will or estate can lead to a legal challenge.
  • Omission from the Will: If a close family member is unexpectedly excluded from the will, they may have grounds to contest it.
  • Unclear Language: Vague or contradictory language in the will can lead to disputes about its interpretation.
  • Missing Heirs: The will excludes a rightful heir who is unknown at the time of probate or on other legal grounds.
  • Improper Execution: The will was not signed or witnessed according to Texas legal requirements.
  • Disputes Regarding Asset Distribution: Disagreements arise concerning the interpretation of the will, the valuation of assets, or how a representative is conducting their distribution.
