Why Create a Will?

While no one has to create a will, failing to do so leaves your family’s property in the hands of the probate court and creditors. There may even be some family conflict that comes from confusion as to where certain assets should go.

With a will, you are able to:

• Designate who will receive what property
• Leave behind instructions for how your family can carry out your wishes
• Determine who will be the executor to your estate rather than leave it up to a probate court

In Texas, the property of those who die without a will is given to their closest relatives starting with their spouse and their children. From there, if the court is unable to locate any relatives, the property will be given to the state. It is very important to note that if you have a blended family, i.e. a child not of your current marriage, your property will be split up among all of your children and your spouse. This can cause many problems when the spouse needs to sell real estate or the children are minors.
