Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Fraud on Death Certificate
Is it illegal to put yourself down as son on a death certificate when you have no relation to the deceased?
How would I obtain a copy of my grandfathers will if I don't have one?
Is it on record anywhere?

Hell, yes! Falsifying a government document is a felony offense.
If your grandfather's estate has been entered into probate, his will is a matter of public record. Or he could have recorded it with the county clerk, although that's offered as a convenience.
