Frequently asked questions concerning texas legal wills and probate and information about probate on wills, Dallas attorney, Shelly B. West

Information About Probate on Wills

Question:  What is the timeframe to contest a will and what are the grounds?


Answer:   A will must be contested within two years of the date it was admitted to probate, with some exceptions. Texas Probate Code section 93. A will may be contested on the grounds that 1) the testator did not have the capacity to make the will, or 2) undue influence was used on the testator to induce the execution of the will in its present form. Both of these are challenging and expensive cases to litigate.
