What is the name of your state? Texas
Scenario:
Person is listed as an heir in will. This person dies but was never removed from will.
Couple years later, the will is now in play and filed in county court after the death of the originator.
The will was never altered or updated, so this deceased heir is still included.
What will happen to property/benefits bequeathed to this deceased heir?
Edit: No provision was made in the will to address this problem; such as... if I am preceeded in death by a listed heir, his/her share shall go to ......
I'm thinking that the inheritance of this deceased heir would go to the person's estate. ?
