    Will & Estate Planning FAQ

    This information is for general information only and is not legal advice.

    • Do I need a will if I don't have significant assets?

      Yes. A will is essential regardless of asset value. It designates guardians for minor children, prevents state intestacy laws from controlling distribution, minimizes family disputes, and simplifies the probate process for your loved ones during a difficult time.

    • How often should I update my will?

      Review your will after major life events, including marriage, divorce, the birth of children or grandchildren, significant asset acquisition or loss, business changes, or moves to different states. Generally, a review every 3-5 years is prudent, even without major changes.

    • What happens if I die without a will in Texas?

      Texas intestacy laws determine asset distribution, which may not align with your wishes. The state appoints administrators and guardians. The process becomes longer, more expensive, and potentially contentious. Blended families face particularly challenging distributions under intestacy rules.

    • What's the difference between a will and a trust?

      A will takes effect after death and requires probate, while trusts can operate during life and transfer assets without court involvement. Wills become public record, while trusts remain private. Trusts offer greater control over when and how beneficiaries receive assets.

    • Can I just write my own will or use an online template?

      While technically legal, self-written or template wills often contain critical errors, omissions, or ambiguities leading to invalidation or family disputes. State-specific requirements are frequently overlooked, potentially causing significant problems during probate.

    • How does a will work with non-probate assets?

      Assets with designated beneficiaries (life insurance, retirement accounts) or owned jointly with rights of survivorship bypass your will. An effective estate plan coordinates probate and non-probate assets to fulfill your overall intentions.

    • What should I consider when choosing an executor?

      Select someone trustworthy, organized, and diplomatic with sufficient time availability. Consider their financial acumen and proximity to your assets. Name alternates in case your first choice is unavailable, and discuss your selection with candidates before finalizing.
