Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

My son's (age 14) father passed away. We have been divorced for 12 years. When we got divorced, my son was 1 y/o, and his father changed his Retirement acct beneficiary to his sister. He never updated it. I actually think he forgot about it when he left working at the school. Now that he passed in 2007, his sister received a large sum of money. I believe that he wanted this money to go to his son, and his sister was beneficiary for his son, since his son was, and is a minor.

But she is just enjoying her new founf financial freedom. Is there any way to contest this???

Probably not, but if he died without a will, son may be entitled to his other assets, if any. You should contact a lawyer.
