Do You Have a Will? Do you need one? I recently came across an article about Wills and the misconceptions people have about making a will. Most people believe they can’t draft their own wills and need an attorney, they also believe if you don’t own property you don’t need a will. If you live in Texas an Attorney is not needed to draft your will, Texas recognized two types of wills. Holographic Will (one entirely in the deceased’s handwriting) a holographic requires no witnesses Attested Will (one entirely in the deceased’s handwriting) requires at least two witnesses You can draft your own will, especially if it is holographic and no attorney need be present however it would be good to have the expertise of an attorney to comply with legal requirements to validate the will and meet the ...
