Every Family Deserves a Will
A will is the most important legal document you will ever sign. It tells the world who should receive your property, who should care for your children, and how your final wishes should be honored. Without one, the State of Texas decides all of that for you — and the state does not know your family the way you do.
At ProbatesATX, we believe that creating a will should not be complicated, intimidating, or expensive. Our Simple Will Package gives you a professionally drafted, legally binding will that is customized to your family's needs. We walk you through the process step by step, in plain English (or Spanish), so you always know exactly what your documents say and why they matter.
What Happens If You Die Without a Will in Texas?
In Texas, dying without a will is called dying "intestate." When this happens, the state's default inheritance laws decide who gets your property. If you are married with children from a previous relationship, your surviving spouse may not receive the home you shared. If you are unmarried, distant relatives you have never met may inherit everything you worked for. And if you have minor children, a judge — not you — will decide who raises them.
A will gives you control. It puts your wishes in writing so your family does not have to guess, argue, or spend thousands of dollars in court.
