Here are some of the reasons to have a will in Texas:
To distribute your assets according to your wishes.
Without a will, the state of Texas will decide how to distribute your assets after you die, and this may not be in accordance with your wishes. For example, if you have a minor child, the state will appoint a guardian for them, but you may have someone else in mind.
To choose your own executor.
The executor is the person who will be responsible for carrying out the terms of your will. Without a will, the court will appoint an administrator, who may not be the person you would have chosen.
To minimize probate costs and delays.
Probate is the legal process of settling a person's estate after they die. It can be a complex and time-consuming process, but having a will can help to streamline the process and reduce the costs.
To protect your minor children.
If you have minor children, a will can allow you to appoint a guardian for them and to make arrangements for their financial support. Without a will, the court will decide who will be the guardian of your children, and this may not be the person you would have chosen.
To make charitable donations.
If you want to make charitable donations after you die, a will is the best way to do this. Without a will, your charitable wishes may not be carried out.
In addition to these reasons, there are other benefits to having a will, such as the ability to:
Disinherit individuals you do not want to receive your property
Create trusts for your minor children or other beneficiaries
Leave specific gifts to loved ones
Appoint a conservator for your minor children or incapacitated adults
Avoid legal challenges to your estate
