Without an Estate Plan:

  • Your spouse doesn’t automatically inherit all your money and property.
  • Your finances become public in a long, expensive court process known as probate.
  • The State decides who will care for your children.

With a Texas Family Will and Trust Plan:

  • You choose who inherits your money and property.
  • You can avoid probate, ensuring privacy and allowing immediate access to funds.
  • You choose who will take care of your children.

“Not always? But their websites say their documents are state specific?”

Many online estate planning sites claim their documents are state-specific, but our experience as attorneys shows most fail in court for two key reasons: 1) They don’t fully comply with Texas law, even if labeled for Texas; 2) They aren’t signed correctly. The Texas Family Will and Trust Plan is crafted specifically for Texas law. We also provide detailed written and video signing instructions to ensure proper execution.
