Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Re: revocation

So long as the will was valid to begin with, it is still valid unless it was revoked by a subsequent will. The mere passage of time will not invalidate the instrument.

Re: revocation

The statute of limitations on probate of a will is four years. That would be four years from death, not from writing the will. However, probate as a muniment of title sometimes extends beyond that if there is sufficient cause for failure to apply for probate. However, there are other statutes of limitation, such as the law of adverse possession and it can be relatively complicated.

Re: revocation

Valid wills don't expire. The time you have to probate that will from the date of death, however, is limited.
