Texas Will Requirements
Posted on | January 25, 2013 | No Comments
The definition of a will is easy. Most people know that a will is a legal document which deals with the disposition of a person’s property at death.
A Texas will has a few basic requirements:
First, the will must identify the testator;
Second, the will must be written with “testamentary intent”;
Third, the person who makes the will (“testator”) must have “testamentary capacity” to sign the will ( i.e., must be over the age of eighteen, and of sound mind);
Fourth, the will must be executed with the requisite testamentary formalities.
