What is the name of your state? TX
Here is the situation. A will is probated as a muniment of title and as a result a home goes to Heir "A". However, the court was not aware of a pending will contest that was filed by Heir "B". As a result, Heir B files a Bill of Review asking the court to invalidate the muniment of title and allow for a future will contest. The bill of review is granted and a will contest concerning who gets the house will take place sometime in the future. Right now, the deed records show that the house belongs to Heir A. My question is, what is to prevent Heir A from selling this house before the actual will contest? Is there anything that Heir B can do to prevent this? I found something called a writ of sequestration where real property can be tied up pending litigation but it seems to apply only when there is a chance that someone will damage the property. If Heir A sells this house, is there anything that Heir B can do to get it back?
