Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Probably more than a longer will. A "one page very short will" probably doesn't have an attestation or self proving affidavit. This means bringing two witnesses to court to give testimony as to the handwriting of the deceased. It's also possible that the document may not even qualify as a will at all. I'd have to read the document to be sure.

As Mr. Leon points out, short Wills are not always simpler. In too many cases, shorter means something important was left out. That said, no attorney is going to base their fees on the length of the document. Any attorney's time spent on the matter, and thus their fee, will be based on the work needed to accomplish your goal of having the document admitted to probate. The good news is that there are many of us, and the size of our practice area keeps the market somewhat competitive. Call around and find an attorney that you trust and a price that you feel is reasonable.
