My sister in Texas recently died without a will. She is not married and has no children. Her plan was to split everything evenly among my other sister, my children, and my grandchildren. Now a half sister born in 1932 has appeared and is claiming heirship. Our attorney says that we can't request DNA, and she is entitled to 1/3 share of the inheritance. The Texas law I find says a half sister isn't entitled to a full 1/3, but to 1/4 of what my sister and I would inherit. What are the legal implications of this situation in Texas, and how should we proceed?
