Adversarial document review
Most reviews tell you what your document says. This one switches sides — it reads your Texaswill or trust the way a will-contest attorney would, hunting for the weakness they'd attack in court. Find it first, fix it first.
Watch it switch sides
The engine drafts. Then it attacks its own work the way the other side would. Then you rule on every finding — nothing is final until you do.
Act I — The engine drafts
Art. VI · No-Contest Clause — drafted by the engine
If any beneficiary contests this Will or any of its provisions, that beneficiary shall forfeit all gifts made to them and shall take nothing from my estate.

Enforceability · § 254.005“As drafted, this clause promises more than Texas law delivers. Tex. Est. Code § 254.005 makes the forfeiture unenforceable against a contestant who establishes just cause and good faith — and it never blocks a beneficiary from compelling a fiduciary to perform. Absolute language invites a construction fight about the clause itself.”
Possible alternative language
…scope the forfeiture expressly to the limits of § 254.005, and pair it with a self-proved will (§ 251.104) and contemporaneous capacity evidence so the deterrent rests on more than the penalty…
Nothing finalizes until the last finding carries your decision.
Where plans break
Signals a challenger could use to argue the plan didn't reflect your free, informed wishes.
Texas's signing formalities are strict. A missed step is the easiest way to void a document.
Language two readers could read two ways — the seam a contest pries open.
No backup beneficiary, no alternate fiduciary, no what-if — the gaps litigation lives in.
A trust that owns nothing protects nothing. Assets left outside still run through probate.
