I'm trying to get some information on Estate Law. I inherited an estate from a good friend. His wife died 4 years eariler. The wife was in a nursing home for 4 years prior her death.
The wife had a daughter, stepdaughter to my friend. The stepdaughter had the mother's will leaving her the mother's share. The stepdaughter held the until my friend died, which was just 3 days shy of 4 years. Now she's claiming half of the estate which is basically a home and property the home is on.
The wife's will had disinherited her husband, my friend and her second child who is Mentally Retarded.
We're in Texas, a community property state. I'm desperately looking for a loop hole that will either reduce the stepdaughter's share or that will leave her with nothing. Any assistance will be appreciated.
