Why Draft a Will?

Most people associate wills with the elderly or the terminally ill, but establishing a legally sound will can be highly beneficial for you and your family at any stage of your life.

Wills are legally binding documents that specifically outline all of your requests, including how you want end-of-life wishes to be carried out, how debts will be dealt with, how assets will be distributed, and how minor children will be taken care of.

We can work with you to address numerous directives in your will, such as:

Naming guardians for minor children
Determining how property will be distributed
Naming heirs and determining what assets they will receive
Establishing trusts
Creating end-of-life directives, including funeral wishes and medical directives

When you call Conroe estate planning lawyer Denise Norman, she will take all measures to help meet your needs and address any concerns you may have about a will.

In addition to drafting new wills, we can work with you to revise existing wills, or make additions to include recently acquired property or assets.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is the difference between a will and a trust?

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death, while a trust can manage your assets during your lifetime and after your death, often providing more control over when and how beneficiaries receive assets.

How often should I update my will?

It's advisable to review and potentially update your will every few years or after significant life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or a change in financial circumstances.

What happens if I die without a will in Texas?

If you die without a will in Texas, your assets will be distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This process can also lead to complications and delays in settling your estate.

Do I need witnesses to sign my will in Texas?

Yes, in Texas, you need at least two witnesses to sign your will, and they must be at least 14 years old. Witnesses should not be beneficiaries of the will to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

Understanding the Importance of Updating Your Will

Your will is not a static document; it should evolve as your life circumstances change. Major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or the acquisition of significant assets can all necessitate updates to your will. Failing to keep your will current can lead to complications and disputes among your heirs, undermining your intentions.

Here are some key reasons to review and update your will regularly:

Reflect Changes in Family Dynamics: Ensure your beneficiaries and guardians are aligned with your current wishes.
Address New Assets: Include any new properties, investments, or valuable items acquired since your last update.
Avoid Legal Challenges: An updated will can help minimize the risk of disputes among family members, ensuring your wishes are respected.
Incorporate Changes in Laws: Stay informed about any changes in estate law that could affect your will.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your will accurately reflects your wishes can provide you and your loved ones with peace of mind.

At The Law Office of Denise Norman, we recommend scheduling regular reviews of your will to ensure it remains a true reflection of your intentions. Our experienced Conroe wills attorney is here to provide guidance and support as you navigate these important updates.
