Last Will & Testaments

The importance and advantages of having a Will...

Having a Will allows you to control the distribution of the assets you posses upon your passing.  Making it possible to pass your property in your estate to whomever you want.  Whether that be family members, significant others, domestic partners, your friends, charities of your choosing and so on.  In addition, it allows the property to be distributed outright to the person designated in your Will or held in trust for that person, to be distributed when, how, and for the purposes you designate.

The disadvantage of passing intestate, without a Will...

If you die without a Will your property will pass to the rightful heirs that are determined by the State of Texas, who may not necessarily be who you would have chosen to inherit your estate.  The State chooses heirs according to the Laws of Descent and Distribution under the Probate Code of Texas. These laws do not recognize unmarried couples or domestic partners, but may include distant relatives if you do not have immediate family.
