CLIENT REVIEWS
Texas Wills and Estate Plans
The majority of Texas estate 
plans typically include a Last Will 
and Testament as well as a 
number of other financial and 
healthcare documents. An 
irrevocable or revocable trust 
also may be used to help avoid 
probate.
IN THE EVENT OF INCAPACITY
An estate plan also may help 
eliminate the need to appoint a 
guardian of the estate
Estate Probate and 
Administration
Common assets that can be 
transferred outside of probate 
include community property with 
right of survivorship, accounts 
that have a payable upon death 
beneficiary, life estates, certain 
annuities with a survivor’s 
benefit, as well as property that 
has been placed into a trust
PROBATE IS USUALLY NECESSARY
When a person dies without a will and/or has 
not made arrangements for what should 
happen to their property after their death. The 
type of probate required often depends on the 
nature and extent of the assets as well as the 
amount of debt involved
