Legal Wills in Texas
Single Will
A will enables a testator (the person making a will) to make
sure that his/her family and loved ones are provided for and all possessions or
property will be distributed in accordance with his/her wishes. This document is
not designed for a complex and large estate that raises special tax
considerations. This document should be used only for a basic estate which is
below the threshold for the payment of inheritance tax and where discretionary
trusts and settlements are not required. It has been specifically designed for
use by a single person.
