You need to hire a lawyer to sift through all the facts you have presented in order to figure out whether or not you have a actionable compaint.  The longer you wait the harder it will be, if possible at all, to unwind anything.  Again hire a lawyer.

Estate Probation

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
After the court appoints an administrator (you, if you applied), the administrator can distribute separate personal property to the children according to the Texas rules of inheritance.  If you are the applicant, you might also want to talk to your attorney about setting aside the home and up to $60,000 in personal property for the widow (you) and about the fact that property purchased during the marriage is assumed to be community property unless proven otherwise.  These days a lot of folks feel entitled to "their" money and stuff before the body is cold.  But no one has authority to distribute anything until a court appoints them executor of a Will or administrator of an estate or signs an Order Approving Small Estate Affidavit.

No, but your will should be drafted carefully to help avoid challenges by your heirs who are left out.
