Do you need a Will Lawyer near you? Any Texas resident of sound mind is entitled to and should have a valid will. In order for a Will to be valid, it must be signed by the testator and two witnesses, who cannot inherit anything under the Will. It is preferable to have the Will notarized and attached a sworn affidavit, often called a self-proving affidavit. If this affidavit is attached, then it helps to expedite the probate process by confirming the validity of the Will without the necessity of having the witnesses testify in Court. After the Will is signed it should be kept in a secure place. The original is usually put in a safe deposit box; however, the will lawyer who helped prepare your will may also keep a copy in case the original will is accidently lost or destroyed in a natural disaster. Although it is not necessary to have a will lawyer draft the will, it is preferable in order to make sure the will complies with applicable state law. If you move to another state, you should consult a will lawyer in that state to make sure the will complies with the laws of that state. Many people hire a will lawyer in the new jurisdiction to review the exist will and if changes are required, the will lawyer may recommend updated the will so that the will is in conformity with the law of the new state. Consulting with a will lawyer guarantees that you will have peace of mind that your will is valid.
