What Is a Will & Why Is It Important?

A will is a legally binding document that directs how your property and responsibilities are managed after you pass away. Without a will, the State of Texas decides who inherits your assets under intestacy laws, which are unlikely to match your personal wishes.

By creating a valid will, you provide clarity, reduce stress for your loved ones, and protect your legacy. A well-prepared will can also help avoid the kind of family conflicts that often arise when there is uncertainty about a person’s true intentions after they are gone.

Some of the most important functions a will can serve include:

• Directing the distribution of assets and personal property.
• Naming guardians for minor children and dependents.
• Designating an executor to manage the estate.
• Providing instructions for paying debts, taxes, and expenses.
• Protecting heirs with special provisions, such as trusts or staggered inheritances.
• Reducing the risk of disputes among family members.

A well-drafted will is not just about dividing and distributing property; it is about creating stability and reducing stress during an already difficult time. When you work with an experienced Texas wills attorney from our firm, you gain the assurance that your will is legally sound, carefully worded, and tailored to your family’s unique needs. This level of preparation can help prevent costly disputes and allow your wishes to be honored without unnecessary delays.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wills in Texas

Do I really need a lawyer to draft a will?
DIY or handwritten wills often fail in court. You should hire a lawyer who can check that your will is valid under Texas law.

What makes a will valid in Texas?
Typically, a will must be in writing, signed by you, and witnessed by at least two credible witnesses over the age of 14.

Can I change my will after it’s signed?
Yes. You can update your will anytime by creating a new one or adding a codicil, which our attorneys can handle.

What happens if someone contests my will?
The court will review the challenge, and an attorney can defend your wishes or pursue your claim.

How often should I update my will?
We usually recommend that you at least review your will every three to five years. Anytime a major life change occurs, such as marriage, divorce, or new children, your will should be officially updated.

What if I already have a handwritten will—can it hold up in court?
Texas allows holographic (handwritten) wills, but they are frequently contested and harder to enforce than wills officially made with the guidance of an attorney.

What’s the difference between a will and a living will?
A will distributes assets after death. A living will, also called an advance directive, addresses medical decisions during your lifetime.
