Answers to common questions about estate planning in Texas.
Estate planning is not limited to wealthy individuals. Planning documents can address important matters involving your family, property, healthcare preferences, and decision-making authority.
A will generally directs the distribution of your property after death and may address other matters, including executor and guardian nominations. A trust is a separate legal arrangement that can hold and manage assets according to its terms. The appropriate approach depends on your circumstances.
Certain assets held in a properly established and funded living trust may pass outside probate. However, creating a trust does not automatically eliminate probate for every asset or estate.
A durable power of attorney can authorize a person you choose to handle specified financial and property matters. Depending on its terms, the authority may continue if you become incapacitated.
A medical power of attorney designates someone to make healthcare decisions for you when legally authorized to do so. A directive to physicians documents certain treatment preferences under specified circumstances. These documents serve different purposes and may complement each other.
Many estate planning documents can be amended or revoked while you have the required legal capacity, subject to applicable legal requirements. Significant life events may warrant reviewing your existing documents.
