Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Possible Inheriance
Before a friend of mine had major surgery he called me and told me that he was making a new will and leaving money to me. He only had a 50/50 chance of making it through the surgery. There were complications and he is now deceaded. My question is: How do I find out if he did in fact leave me money? I do not know who his attorney is or where he had the will done. He lived in Texas and I live in Ohio. Is there someway I cen get information from Texas about his will? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Re: Possible Inheriance
Wills aren't published in Texas before probate. Someone would have to look into your friend's papers to see if there is a will.
