OPINION

ERIC ANDELL, Justice.

Jim Ed Brooks, Jr. died in 1996. Since then, several individuals have claimed to be his heirs. A probate court judge signed a judgment declaring Travis Tremaine Thomas to be the sole heir to the decedent's estate. Jimmie Malone, the sister of Jim Brooks, Jr., appeals that judgment, claiming the probate court made its decision based on an order of paternity that she argues was void as a matter of law. We affirm.
