Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My Mom recently passed away. Her last wish was to be cremated and have her ashes spread in the sea/ocean in Texas. I am the oldest of 6 kids and want to do this, but I have two younger siblings that do not want to spread her ashes. As I am the oldest do I have every legal right to do as my mother wished for? We are all over 18.

Being oldest is irrelevant.
Did she list her wish in her will or in a separate legal document?
Is there an executor of her estate?
I cannot answer your question without knowing a lot more information.
You need to meet with a probate attorney in your county and discuss your issues.
I am sorry for the loss of your mother. It is also unfortunate that the 6 children cannot agree. I have found that people grieve in different ways & perhaps this is the issue.
You might try mediation with a trained mediator in your area to resolve your differences.
