Your Texas Wills, Trusts, & Estates Explained Simply Important Information You Need to Know for Texas Residents

I'm a 60 year old Paralegal. I have been a Certified Paralegal since 1988. Often times I need to refresh what I learned in school. This book, among other legal books I purchased on Amazon, were great for re-learning or refreshing my memory. I learn a lot of new things. Please purchase a legal book pertaining to your STATE. I live in Texas, so these TEXAS legal books were helpful. The ones on Estate Planning and Texas Probate are great for a family to have on their home book shelves. You can refer to them when have your Will prepared, or if anyone in your family passes and asks you to be the Executor of the Estate. Everyone should know about PROBATE, it means "To Prove Up" the Estate (or Will) and it's Assets, and in a court of law. Whether you have a Will, a Trust or No Will or Trust, an Estate must be probated in some way. You can "google" Texas Probate or for any state that you live in, and read up on it. Everyone who passes away, their Estate must be probated. Even individuals who have a Revocable Family Trust, which is often created to "avoid" probate, often has to go through probate anyway because they did not keep their Trust current. An attorney can explain. Yes, you will like this book. Jennifer in Houston, Texas.

Do NOT let these other Amazon reviews sway you to purchase this book. If you look at other review sites, you will see a rating of 2 stars versus the 4 stars listed on the Amazon site.Doesn’t seem to have any pertinent information. Going in the trash. Not worth recycling.

This is a fairly good explanation. It is as straight forward as a book on Wills, Trusts, and Estates can be. I recommend this book for getting some general knowledge before dealing with the wills, trusts, or estates on an emergency basis. Don't wait.

This was just a "you need a "professional" to do the simplest things" sales pitch for so called professionals to jam there hand in your pocket. Contained NO usefull information.

Lots of good information but no forms.
