Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Inheritance
The deceased party left all property to his offspring, his
wife preceeded him in death by eight months and left all of her assests to him specifically as stated in her will. The question posed is, Do relatives of the deceased's wife have any legal claim to any part of the deceased's estate, when both wills have passed Texas probate?

Re: Inheritance
The answer is probaby no. However you should contact an attorney who is experienced with estates for a definitive answer.
Re: Inheritance
No. Not unless her will was invalid.
Re: Inheritance
No because her will has already been probated. Her will had provisions on how to pass her assets and effects as per her instructions.
I agree with Peter in that it is likely to balance on the question of whether or not her will was valid.
