No, please resist the urge! I could tell stories for days of disastrous DIY wills our office has seen and the consequences of such. Filling out the forms may seem straightforward, but any mistakes you make may not come to light until it is too late. Also, these forms may not properly conform to Texas law or address all issues at hand. Furthermore, Texas has very specific requirements concerning wills and execution of wills. If a will does not comply with all these requirements, it can be declared invalid, meaning that your estate could be treated as though you never had one. By doing things yourself now and trying to save some money, you could cost your family more money than you saved. You could also create more distress, confusion and grief for them. Additionally, the one-size-fits-all character of a do-it-yourself plan does not take into account each individual’s unique circumstances, and consequently each of their individual estate planning needs. Bad estate plans break up good families. We can help you take a proactive approach and streamline the estate planning process to provide a peace of mind now.
