Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

My father died in March 2009 and my grandmother died two months later in may. My grandmother had two wills. One looks official and was filed with the court in 1980 the later one was hand written and she had witnesses from her bank sign it in 1993. They both named my father and aunt (his sister) as equal beneficiaries to her property. The only provision for death of an heir is a blurb that states "providing they survive me" with no directions as to who it would go to if they didn't. The later will in 1993 has no provison. Would I have a claim to my fathers portion of the estate?

Possibly. You should have a lawyer in the county of your grandmother's residence to advise you.
