Wills

Establishing a Will in Texas

Counsel from Dedicated Beaumont Estate Planning Lawyers

A will is a document you prepare for your loved ones to consult in the event of your death. Primarily, it instructs them on how to resolve your estate and determines which assets are passed down to specific descendants. Additionally, a "living will" can provide instructions and powers to loved ones in the event that you become mentally incapacitated. If you are interested in establishing either of these crucial estate planning documents, it is recommended that you speak with proven legal counsel for assistance.

At Shelander Law Offices, we have helped numerous clients establish wills that have not only prepared their estate for the future but also provided them peace of mind. With more than 50 years of experience, our firm is ready to assess your estate and help you establish a will tailored to your specific needs and concerns.

What a Will Can Do

Perhaps one of the biggest misunderstandings about estate planning is that only the very rich need wills to properly manage their estate. This is wrong, and every estate, no matter what the size, can benefit from a well-crafted, legally sound will.

In Texas, a will can:

Name a trusted executor to resolve your estate
Pass down assets to named beneficiaries
Settle outstanding debts and taxes
Make charitable donations
Name a trusted guardian for minor children or elderly loved ones
Name a trusted agent to handle medical decisions
Name a trusted agent to handle financial decisions

Perhaps most importantly, a will prevents your loved ones from descending into a complex, contentious probate process after your passing. In the absence of a will, Texas intestacy laws may decide how your estate is distributed, as well. A proper will can ensure the swift resolution of your estate and ensure that your loved ones receive exactly what you intended.
