Wills, Codicils, Trust, Power of Attorney, and Probate
A will is one of the most important legal documents that a person may execute in their lifetime. Unfortunately, many times this extremely important document goes overlooked because many individuals feel that they will get around to it "one day".
If a person dies without a will, they are deemed to have died intestate. And contrary to popular belief, this does NOT mean that the State of Texas will take your real and personal property. It does, however, mean that a formula will be used to determine what share of property will go to each family member. Dying intestate simply means that a statutory formula, AND NOT YOU, will decide how your property is distributed after death. Make "one day"…..TODAY!
