Common questions
What to know before choosing a will
Will this plan keep my estate out of probate?
No. A will is used through the Texas probate process. If helping assets avoid probate is your goal, consider the Texas Family Trust Plan and properly transfer appropriate assets to the trust.
Do married couples pay twice?
No. One $199 purchase covers the plan for both spouses.
Does a will control every asset I own?
Not necessarily. A will generally controls probate assets. Assets governed by a beneficiary designation, survivorship agreement, trust, or another nonprobate arrangement may pass outside the will.
Do I have to finish in one sitting?
No. Your progress saves automatically, and you can return from your account.
Is individualized legal advice included?
No. The $199 purchase includes self-guided documents and recorded general information. Individualized advice and review are available through a separate engagement with Book Law Firm.
How does the 7-day guarantee work?
If you decide the plan is not right for you within seven days of purchase, you can request a refund. One year of plan updates is included.
