How do I request a formal reading of a will? My father died recently after a battle against terminal cancer. According to his wife (only 2 years, who married after he was diagnosed), the will he was left on their home computer and it is both the executor and legatee. My brothers all say it was another will, but we have no idea where to look or who to ask. How can I obtain a formal reading of the will? (We live in Texas.)
If he had any regular contact with a lawyer, you need to contact them and see. You may be better (more ideas) by asking this question in "Politics and Government> Law & Ethics"
Texas is a state property of the community. Unless there is a prenuptial agreement, which states otherwise, it gets everything whether or not there is a will.
I am not a lawyer. So do not hesitate to speak with someone who is, but I do not think you have a leg to stand on here.
