Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Can someone force you to probate will?
My uncle passed away 2 months ago, my aunt has ben overwelmed with getting everything in order since his passing. He has left almost everything to my aunt, only like $50 to each of his nieces. But if they contest it they will be left with nothing.
Meanwhile, some of his greedy nieces are telling her that she has to probate the will now, or she is going to get into trouble. Can someone force you to probate will?

Re: Can someone force you to probate will?
Your aunt can't be forced to probate the will, but it sounds as if it would be in her best interests to do so. Now if one of the nieces starts an action in probate to determine heirship, as if there was no will, that could force the will to be brought forth.
