Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Biological adult children believe step-mom to be sole beneficiary in our Dad's will. There is a substantial amount of money at stake, and she has three grown children. How soon can we contest the will once its gone to probate? If on their joint accounts, my Dad specified step-mom as right of suviorship, can his paternal children do anything? We believe that my father made the stipulation that upon her death, funds will be distributed to all surviving children. But, can't she move/gift to her children the bulk of that money? Thank you!
