In Texas, those that enter into the estate planning process most often use the popular tools of a trust or a will. In the case of a trust, the assets left to beneficiaries can be distributed at various times or all at once. For a will, an estate must go through the probate process.
People in Texas who decide to create an estate plan have many options to choose from as they explore their needs. They are often pleasantly surprised to learn that estate planning tools can be customized to fit the needs of an individual estate. For example, if a person wishes to leave a specific bequest to beneficiaries, they can create a detailed list that is included in their estate plan.
