Description
This is a will contest involving the 1960 will of Mrs. Sarita K. East who died on February 11, 1961. The issue presented by this appeal does not concern the actual validity of the will. It is instead whether respondents, who are the widow and six children of Edgar Turcotte, deceased, have an interest in the estate of Mrs. East which will entitle them, or some of them, to contest the will. The district court, sitting without a jury, conducted a trial on the issue of respondents interest and entered a judgment which dismissed all respondents from the will contest on the ground that they are not interested persons within the meaning of Section 93 of the Texas Probate Code. On appeal, the court of civil appeals affirmed as to all respondents except Patrick A. Turcotte and Robert A. Turcotte. The judgment of the trial court insofar as it affects Patrick A. Turcotte and Robert A. Turcotte was reversed and remanded for trial on the merits. Turcotte v. Trevino, 544 S.W.2d 463 (Tex.Civ.App. Corpus Christi, 1976). We reverse the judgment of the court of civil appeals and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
