Write your Texas will in an evening.
Answer plain-English questions about your family and what you own. We turn your answers into a will drafted for Texas law, with a self-proving affidavit and step-by-step signing instructions — plus, if you want them, powers of attorney and health care documents that reuse what you've already told us.
Wills are $59. Add powers of attorney and health care documents and save up to 20% on the bundle. Want a licensed Texas attorney to look everything over before you sign? Attorney review is $340 per order.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
your full legal name
I, your full legal name, a resident of your county County, Texas, being of sound mind and acting of my own free will, declare this instrument to be my Last Will and Testament. I revoke all wills and codicils that I have previously made.
INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATION. I direct that no other action shall be had in the probate court in relation to the settlement of my estate than the probating and recording of this Will and the return of any required inventory, appraisement, and list of claims of my estate.

What your will can cover
Each part is drafted from your answers. If something doesn't apply to you, it's left out.
- An independent executorThe person who settles your estate, with independent administration and no bond, which keeps court involvement and cost low.
- Guardians for minor childrenWho you want to raise your children, and who should manage their property, with alternates.
- Trusts for young beneficiariesHold a child's inheritance until an age you choose, from 18 to 35, instead of handing it over at 18.
- Specific giftsA ring, a truck, a sum of money, a gift to a charity, or a caretaker for your pets and money for their care.
- Everything elseTo your spouse and then your children, or to the people and charities you choose, by percentage.
- Leaving someone outClear language for anyone you intentionally do not want to inherit.
- Digital assetsThe authority Texas law allows your executor over your email, photos, and online accounts.
- Funeral wishesBurial, cremation, or donation, and anything else your family should know.
- Self-proving affidavitThe notarized page that lets your will be probated without calling your witnesses to court.
More than a will
A will covers what happens after you die. These documents cover the times you're living but can't speak for yourself. Each uses the official Texas form where there is one.
- Financial power of attorneyThe Texas statutory durable power of attorney: someone you trust can pay your bills, manage accounts, and handle property if you can't.
- Medical power of attorneyThe person who makes health care decisions for you if your doctor certifies you can't make them yourself.
- Directive to physiciansOften called a living will: your wishes about life-sustaining treatment at the end of life.
- HIPAA authorizationLets your family and agents talk to your doctors and see your medical information.

Questions
Is a will made online valid in Texas?
Yes, as long as it is signed correctly. Texas law cares about how a will is signed, not where it was typed. A will must be in writing, signed by you, and signed by two witnesses who are at least 14 years old, in your presence (Texas Estates Code §251.051). You will print your will and sign it on paper; your instructions walk you through each step.
Do I have to hire an attorney?
No. Texas does not require a lawyer to prepare a will. If you would like a licensed Texas attorney to review your answers and your will before you sign, choose attorney review at checkout, or add it later.
When should I talk with an attorney instead of using a form?
Consider personal legal advice if you have a large or complicated estate, a family business, property outside Texas, a beneficiary with special needs who receives government benefits, a blended family with specific plans for a spouse and children from an earlier relationship, or reason to think someone will contest your will. Attorney review is a good fit for many of these situations, and the attorney will tell you if you need more.
Do I need powers of attorney if I have a will?
Usually, yes. A will only takes effect when you die. A financial power of attorney and a medical power of attorney name the people who can act for you while you're living but can't handle things yourself — after an accident or illness, for example. Without them, your family may need to ask a court to appoint a guardian. A directive to physicians records your end-of-life wishes, and a HIPAA authorization lets your family talk to your doctors.
How do the bundle discount and attorney review work?
Each document has its own price. When you own two or more, you get a bundle discount on all of them — and documents you bought earlier count, so adding one later costs only the difference. Attorney review is one flat fee per order, whether the order has one document or five.
What is a self-proving affidavit?
It is a notarized statement, signed by you and your witnesses, that is attached to your will. With it, the probate court can accept your will without your witnesses having to testify (Texas Estates Code §251.102). Every will we prepare includes one.
