Probate
No one likes to plan for the day when they will no longer be with their loved ones or able to care for themselves. Still, it is of the utmost importance to make a detailed account of your wishes while you are of sound mental capacity. Advance preparation saves everyone involved from the grief and stress of a disorganized estate. Depending on the amount and complexity of your assets, an estate plan may need constant revisions to keep up with your wealth and intentions.

Wills
Wills are frequently used in estate plans. They are an excellent way to ensure assets—your real and personal property—are distributed according to your wishes.
Texas law regarding a Last Will and Testament is fairly straightforward. To draft a will in Texas you must be at least 18 years of age and capable of making your own decisions without undue influence. The will must then be signed by its owner or a pre-appointed proxy and two witnesses.
Texas also recognizes holographic wills and oral wills as binding legal documents, though each faces specific limitations because of their less reliable natures.
The Gonzalez Center for Justice works with clients who need assistance drafting, updating, and revoking wills. We carefully review all details of a will to ensure its compliance with state and federal regulations. We also act as witnesses.
