Create a Texas Last Will and Testament with our customizable template!
A Texas Last Will and Testament is a legal document that allows a Testator, the person creating the Will, to explain exactly how their assets should be distributed after their death. It can also be used to name a guardian to care for minor children, provide for pets, or create on-going or one time charitable donations. In the State of Texas, the Testator must sign the Will in the presence of two witnesses. Texas law is unique compared to other states in that it only requires the witnesses to be a minimum age of 14 years old. The purpose of requiring the signatures of witnesses is to help ensure that the Testator is of sound mind when they create the document. Once executed, the Will should be kept in a location that is both safe and easily accessed when it becomes necessary. Ideal locations include keeping the Will with the Testator’s attorney or with a trusted family member or friend.
