About Texan Wills and Trusts

Estate planning software built for Texans, by Texas attorneys.

Texan Wills and Trusts is an online platform that helps Texas residents create estate planning documents through a guided, self-paced process.

What makes this platform different is not just the technology. It is who built it.

Built by Attorneys, Not a Tech Company Guessing at the Law

Texan Wills and Trusts was created by Texas-licensed attorneys who spent years working directly with estate planning documents, probate courts, and real families.

Instead of a technology company trying to learn the law, this platform was built the opposite way. Legal professionals identified recurring problems in generic online documents and then designed software to solve them.

That distinction matters in estate planning. Texas law has unique rules, procedures, and execution requirements that national templates often miss.


What This Is

Texan Wills and Trusts is a document-generation platform. Users answer structured questions, review their selections, and receive estate planning documents generated for Texas residents.

The platform is designed to be clear, guided, and practical. Each step explains what decisions mean and why they matter, without requiring legal background knowledge.

The primary product offered through this platform is the Texas Family Trust Plan, which addresses probate avoidance, incapacity planning, and guardianship planning using Texas-specific documents.


Who This Is For

  • Texas residents who want to complete estate planning online
  • Families who prefer a guided, self-paced process
  • People who want documents designed specifically for Texas law
  • Users who value clarity, structure, and efficiency

Most customers complete their plan without meetings, phone calls, or ongoing professional involvement.


What This Is Not

  • This is not a law firm
  • This is not legal representation
  • This does not create an attorney-client relationship
  • This is not a substitute for individualized legal advice

Texan Wills and Trusts provides legal information and document-generation software. Users remain responsible for their decisions and for how their documents are used.
