Texas Inheritance Disputes
An Understandable Guide to Inheritance issues in Texas




Frequently Asked Questions
Who Can bring an Inheritance Dispute in Texas?
Contesting a will, claims against fiduciaries or filing an heirship in Texas require that you be an “interested party.” That term has a specific, legal meaning. The Texas Estates Code defines the term “interested party” as “an heir, devisee, spouse, creditor, or any other having a property right in or claim against an estate being administered.
How much does it cost?
When you are forced to obtain your inheritance from someone because they are trying to keep you from your rightful inheritance, you have to retain an inheritance attorney. The cost of these inheritance disputes is expensive; however, while many attorneys won’t agree to contingency fees for an inheritance dispute, we handle a select few cases on a contingency basis.

What are the Time Limits for Inheritance Disputes?
Basic Rule: In general, a Texas will contest must be filed within two years from the date the will is admitted to probate, not two years from death. If you are not contesting a will but just trying to obtain your inheritance, the statute of limitations may give you more time.
