A Will enables a person, the testator, to make decisions about how their estate will be managed and distributed after his or her death. What may be less Understood is why one should have this document. less than half of Texans have a will. The key reason one should have a will is that without one a person dies “intestate.” That means the State will decide who inherits and manages your assets.
You can write a letter of instruction to accompany your Will.
Keep the original Will with your estate planning attorney or in a location where your executor can get to it without any legal hassles.
