Can a will drawn after death be contested?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
Undue influence is a proper cause to contest a will. Undue influence is defined in Texas as "any influence, which compels the testator to do that which is against his or her will from fear, the desire for peace, or some other feeling that he or she is unable to resist." A widow can change a will to be different than her late husband's - she may dispose of her property as she sees fit. The issue is whether she made the change due to an influence as defined above. If the late husband had a concern that his family receive some of the property he controlled, he could have made those arrangements directly in his will.

What can be done if my dad didn't sign his living will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
A living will is a document that indicates a person's preferences for health care during major illnesses and end of life situations when that person is no longer able to make such decisions on his or her own and/or communicate them to the medical staff. It often designates a person to be responsible for making such decisions. It does not give anyone the authority to deal with financial matters. Assuming that your father has passed away, any interested party (family member, creditor, etc.) can petition the probate court to name an executor or personal representative who would be granted the authority to gather all of the estate's assets, including money in bank accounts.
