"Fraud in the Inducement" occurs when a fact “outside of the document” is intentionally misrepresented and, without such misrepresentation, the **testator **would not have executed will. In Texas, fraud in the inducement of a dispositive instrument and undue influence are treated as one.
Fraud in the inducement can include promissory misrepresentation as well as misrepresentation of an existing fact.

Tell me what happened
Write to me through the contact form: what happened, roughly when, and who is involved. I read these myself. Writing means our first conversation can be about your situation instead of getting me up to speed.
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. Discuss your circumstances with an attorney who can advise you on them.
