Wills vs. Trusts in Texas — How to Choose
Wills
A will names guardians and gives instructions—but it still requires probate. It is the right tool for many families, and a well-drafted will paired with proper beneficiary designations goes a long way.
Living Trusts
A living trust can avoid probate and simplify incapacity planning—but only if it is funded and maintained. We will help you choose the right tool for your family's goals.
