Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

marriage/wills

I recently married a man that had a previous wife that passed. They had wills made up in 1988. His will states if his first wife has passed that everything is to go to his daughter. If he does not do up a new will with me in it, do I have any legal recourse to anything prior to our marriage?

Re: marriage/wills

As a surviving spouse, you would have a life estate in any homestead property. Other than that, his will controls the disposition of any of his property. There may be claims made for community property interests. If it's important to you, better see a lawyer.
