There are a variety of reasons an individual or family will choose to contest a will in Texas. The most common include:
- If the decedent was believed to have been mentally incapable of formulating the intent as reflected in his or her will
- If a will or trust is poorly written, unclear, partially or largely incomplete, or contradictory
- If it is believed that the will is a forgery
- If several wills exist and it is unknown which is the most recent
- If it is believed that the decedent was influenced by a person who may directly or indirectly benefit from the will
- If an existing will has not been submitted to probate within four years of the decedent’s death, meaning that the will may be invalid
