A Michigan probate attorney, Andrew W. Mayoras, has posted some information on his blog about a man who forged his girlfriend’s will after she was killed. The will was contested and eventually declared to be a forgery. The man was ordered to pay the girlfriend’s family $340,000.00. He was also charged with a crime and sent to jail.
The moral of this story is that if you forge a will, you don’t just lose the estate, you may also lose your estate as well as your freedom!

This page is general information about Texas law. It is not legal advice about your situation, and reading it does not create an attorney–client relationship. These matters turn heavily on specific facts and specific dates, and the law has exceptions this page does not cover. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on this page.
