What is the name of your state? Texas
Is is posible to contract your share of your fathers estate away, before his death? I signed a contract back in 94' stating that I do not want to recieve part of his Property upon his death which was a small business. My mom had passed in 89' and my brother who has plenty of money, and I, split from a business that my father had worked to start in 94'. Upon my sell out, I was told to sign the contract that my brother had a lawyer draft, and if I did not sign, he would take me to court, and bankrupt me. So, I signed the letter, because I did not have the money to fight him in court. On the sellout, I got far less than I felt was the fair amount on my share of the company. My father died in 03'. Is it possible to go back and take my brother to court over this. I was not sure if the time limit started in 94' or in 03' at my fathers death? Thanks for any advice!
