Estate Planning.

Yes, You Need a Will. 

​Each person’s situation is different, but everyone can benefit from having a Will. If you do not want to do it for yourself, do it for your loved ones who will be handling your estate in the event of your death.
 
If you still are not convinced, here are five good reasons to have a will.

1. Tomorrow is not promised. Few people plan to die soon, but death is a part of life. Save your family and loved ones from unnecessary stress and anxiety during an already difficult time.
2. You get to decide how your estate is distributed. Wills are not just for the wealthy. You worked hard for what you have and a will allows you to select the recipients of your property instead of leaving it up to the State.
3. You can make an informed decision about who will care for your minor children. Who do you trust to care for your minor children? It might not be who the State designates if you die without making your wishes known.
4. Your family may avoid a lengthy and expensive probate. Having a will can avoid unnecessary costs and delays during the administration of your estate. If you die without a will, Texas law determines how your property is distributed.
5. You can always change your mind. A will can be revoked or changed at any time in the future.
