Contesting Will In Texas

If a temporary lawyer has a conflict of interest, you can file a motion to remove them, using evidence like webpage reviews. Even with deed transfers, probate may be necessary to validate the will and settle debts. An obituary can be published in any newspaper, not necessarily in the county of death.
