Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Multiple sets of biological children - sale of property
Father had 3 sets of biological children (8 children)by separate wives. Father passed away 10 yrs. ago. Half-brother executor of will. Two years ago when stepmother passed away received 1/8 disbursement of dad's savings account. Was told at the time there would be more when father's home was sold. Have since been told that was a mistake - that there was a second will and everything was left to last set of children. Home has since been sold.
Question: Are the remaining 4 biological children entitled to 1/8 of the proceeds from sale of home?

Re: Multiple sets of biological children - sale of property
Not if the later will has been entered into probate and determined as valid. Otherwise the last will entered into probate is the one that counts.
