Why You Need a Will in Texas
A will is a fundamental part of estate planning. It allows you to:
- Ensure your assets go to the individuals or organizations you choose.
- Name guardians for your minor children.
- Minimize family disputes after your passing.
- Protect family heirlooms and distribute them as you see fit.
- Avoid intestate succession, which means the state will decide how your assets are distributed.
Without a will, Texas law determines how your estate is divided, which may not align with your intentions.

FAQs About Wills in Texas
What happens if I die without a will in Texas?
If you pass away without a will, your estate will be distributed according to Texas intestacy laws. This means the state determines who inherits your assets, which may not reflect your preferences.
Can I update my will after it’s created?
Yes, you can update your will at any time. Life changes like marriage, divorce, or the birth of children often prompt updates to your will.
Is a handwritten will valid in Texas?
Yes, a handwritten will (also called a holographic will) can be valid in Texas, but it must meet specific legal requirements. It’s best to have a lawyer draft or review your will to avoid legal challenges.
