Why Everyone Should Have a Will Everyone needs a will. It is feasible to control your property's inheritance and who gets it. Your will permits you to create a trust to protect your children from receiving an unmanageable sum of money (e.g., IRA) too early. Your property will be disposed of according to Texas intestate law if you pass away without a valid will. You may not want this. If you have children from a previous marriage, the law may result in outcomes you dislike. For example, your stepparent and child may have co-ownership rights. A will enables you to control who and when your children should have property. It can name guardians for your children. This is a way of ensuring that your children are raised by people of your choosing. This is less expensive than the option offered through costly, court-supervised guardianship. This will have numerous documents to protect you, such as if you are incapacitated. This will package includes two power-of-attorney (POA) documents. The first POA appoints a person to handle your finances, and the other is for your healthcare decisions. The financial POA authorizes someone else to manage your assets when you are still alive but unavailable. The healthcare POA enables you to assign someone else to make medical decisions on your behalf whenever you are unable.
