Documents Included in Our Texas Will Package
Our Estate Plan Express service includes a comprehensive will package. With this service, you get four essential documents:
Last Will and Testament
A last will and testament lets you to decide what happens to your estate after your death. With a will, you can:
- Choose your beneficiaries
- Decide how to distribute your assets and property
- Appoint guardians for your minor children
A will allows you to provide for your spouse, children, and other loved ones. Without one, known as dying intestate, Texas law will determine your beneficiaries and the distribution of your estate. State law may not align with your wishes.
Financial Power of Attorney
A financial power of attorney allows you to name someone you trust to handle financial matters if you become incapacitated. This person is called your agent. You decide which powers to give them, such as:
- Paying your bills
- Managing your investments
- Handling real estate, personal property, or business transactions
This document ensures your agent manages your finances, rather than leaving it up to a court-appointed guardian.
Medical Power of Attorney
A medical power of attorney lets you choose someone you trust, called an agent, to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you cannot. For example, your agent can make decisions about medical procedures or treatment if you become too sick or injured to decide. Without this document, your medical provider may make medical decisions with the cooperation of your spouse, an available adult child, one of your parents, or your nearest living relative.
HIPAA Release
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of your medical information. A HIPAA release authorizes healthcare providers to disclose your health and medical information to specific individuals you choose. It also allows individuals you choose to request, receive, and access your health information.
How to Create a Will Online in Texas
Step One: Submit Your Information
Start the process by accessing our online will preparation website. Then, you must create and register an account to access our simple questionnaire.
Our user-friendly questionnaire gathers necessary information to complete your estate plan, including about:
- Your assets
- Chosen beneficiaries
- Any specific needs and goals you have for your estate
After you finish the questionnaire, you can then submit it for review with our experienced Texas estate planning lawyer.
Step Two: Our Attorney Reviews Your Questionnaire
After submitting the questionnaire, we will review your responses. Attorney Morgan Gill will draft and review your last will and testament and other documents, tailoring them to your unique needs and wishes.
Step Three: Receive Your Estate Planning Documents
Once drafted and reviewed, we will send your completed estate planning documents through the online portal. These documents will be ready for your signature and execution with a notary.
We will provide detailed instructions for executing your estate planning documents. Through execution, you can ensure that your will and ancillary documents are legally valid and enforceable.
Step Four: Sign Your Documents With a Notary
In order for your documents to be legally valid, you must sign and execute them with two witnesses. While signing with a notary is not required, we highly recommend signing a self-proving affidavit, which is done with a notary. You will get detailed instructions from our estate planning attorney about how to complete this step on your own. Then, at your convenience, you can complete this step and finalize your documents.
