sharing heiresses
Texas Uniform Parentage Act and the Texas Probate Code providing for pretermittent heirs, if the child was born to a woman to whom the father was married and the birth was within 300 days of his death, the posthumously born child would have been entitled to equal treatment in the distribution of the father’s estate.
The father died when his (and my) first, and only, child was 2 wks old. Probate has just begun. No distribution yet. A woman has now come forward claiming his paternity for her unborn child, but no DNA tests have been done yet. I was just wondering what my response should be if, in fact, DNA proves paternity. Should all distribution be put aside until the baby is born?
