Raul Trevino, Petitioners v. Patrick A. Turcotte, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court, holding that the respondents, including Patrick and Robert Turcotte, are not "persons interested" under Section 93 of the Texas Probate Code and therefore lack standing to contest the 1960 will of Mrs. Sarita K. East. The Court also held that assignments of interests cannot overcome the estoppel created by their father’s acceptance of benefits under the will.
