What Is the Purpose of a Will?
A last will and testament is a critical legal document that outlines your specific wishes for the distribution of your assets. To ensure its validity, this document must be signed in the presence of a Notary Public.
With a properly drafted will, you can:
Decide who will receive your belongings
Select an Executor to manage your estate
Prepare for particular situations, such as the possibility of a child passing away before you
Make sure your final desires are documented for the court to see
Choose a guardian for little children or those with special needs
If you lack a valid will, your estate could face challenges, and your designated beneficiaries may have to pursue legal action to obtain the assets and belongings you intended for them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I die without a will in Texas?
In Texas, intestacy laws govern the distribution of an estate in the absence of a will. This procedure establishes heirs based on your living relatives, which might not be in line with your intentions and could result in disagreements or drawn-out legal processes.
Can I update my will after it's been created?
Yes, once your will has been made, you can make changes to it. This is usually accomplished by drafting a new will that revokes the previous one or by amending your current will using a document called a codicil.
How do I choose an Executor for my will?
Select an executor who is well-organized, dependable, and knowledgeable about finances. Ideally, choose a responsible individual—a relative, friend, or expert advisor—who can manage legal and administrative responsibilities. Make sure they have the capacity and desire to perform the job.

"Thank you and God Bless you"
Thank you for being my Living Trust and other Estate documents attorney. Due to our move and storage of business and personal documents, we had trouble locating & we took a lot longer to respond to your drafts, etc. You were very patient with me and my needing lots of explaining of legal terms and meanings. At my age, I was concerned about getting things done but wanting it all done right. You were very prompt in responding to my questions and I think by time of signing I felt confident we had things just the way we wanted to protect my heirs. Thank you and God Bless you.

"Smooth and easy"
Learning about trusts at the meal was easy and educational. The set down at the office was where the finer points of trusts was explained. That is where and when we decided to make it safe and easy for our heirs. Our final meeting where we signed everything and an explanation of each item was given went smooth and easy. All in all I would say the investment in the trust was worth it.

"Excellent, Highly recommend"
We went to seminar to just find out what we needed to do for a will, They gave us all the info we needed right then there. Offered a really good price if we signed up to get one that day. A few weeks later after our appointment we have a Living trust. They were helpful with all our questions and were very thorough with these explaining the whole process. They stuck with the price that we paid + let us call anytime if we had any questions. Excellent, Highly recommend this company.
