Wills
A common myth is that if I sign my will, I’ll die. The unfortunate reality is that we are all mortal, we will all die some day, and if we don’t sign a will of our own choosing, the State of Texas has one for us, and we may not like what it does. This is especially true where there are children of a prior marriage. The probate process is usually much more complex and expensive if the decedent has not executed a will. In most cases, the Estate must be probated within four years following the death of the decedent.
