A: If she hasn't filed the will for probate, then YOU can. You'll want to get a Texas probate attorney to help you. There is a process for this sort of thing, and an attorney focusing on probate law will definitely know what to do. You should have a consultation with a probate attorney so that your father's large estate doesn't go missing or get eaten up by taxes, etc.
