Wills & Probate in San Antonio

Preparing for the Future

As you begin to plan for the future, writing a will should be at the top of your list. A will helps protect those you love in the unfortunate event of your death. Without a will, your assets and property will be distributed according to state law. To help avoid this, allow our San Antonio estate planning attorneys at Villa & White to help you draft a will that respects your wishes.

What Does a Will Do?

A will allows you to determine how your assets are to be distributed in the event of your death. If you have children, you are able to name a guardian that you trust will care for children. Additionally, if your children are under 18, you are able to name the person who will be in charge of your property until your children come of age. In the will, you will also name an executor who will be tasked with ensuring that the terms outlined in the will are carried out.

Probate in San Antonio

When the deceased failed to leave a will, or if the will's authenticity is in question, a court called probate court will be tasked with distributing the assets, determining how debts will be paid, and appointing a guardian for the children. This process can often take up to a year, costing you money from your estate in fees. While in probate court, your beneficiaries are often unable to receive any assets that you have left behind.
