Wills & Estates

When a person dies in Texas, their loved ones will look for a Last Will and Testament which tells the courts and surviving family members how the property of the deceased is to be divided among surviving family and friends. While there may be a general idea of which individuals will receive certain items, there may be some disagreements about how assets should be distributed. Without a will and legal guardianship directives, a judge and the laws established in Texas will mandate the division of such property and the future guardianship of any minor children. If you do not wish to leave these decisions up to a court that knows nothing about your wishes, you need an estate plan that clearly describes your desires. A will, trust, or other estate planning documents provide your loved ones with direction on how you want your property handled and distributed upon your death. Milligan Law can help you get your affairs in order and provide you with peace of mind knowing that your family will be protected after you pass away.
