Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

A "do-it-yourself" Will can be legal, whether whatever you are specifically referring to will be is anyone's guess. With most of these "kits" you get what you pay for; someone's money making scheme - which may or may not actually meet the Texas requirements. Most attorney's do not charge that much for a simple Will. Since you can't fix the problem after the fact if the one you did yourself is faulty, it makes more sense to spend a little now and know what you have meets the legal requirements and have a valid, probateable Will.

Wills are not filed until the person dies and the Will is filed for probate although you can take the original Will to the County Clerk for safekeeping.
