Common Questions

Answers to the estate planning questions we hear most often from Texas families.

Yes — and it matters more than most couples realize. Without a will, Texas intestacy laws decide who gets what, and the results don't always match your wishes. For example, if you have children from a prior relationship, your surviving spouse may not inherit everything automatically. A will puts you in control of those decisions, not the state.
A will takes effect after you pass away and goes through probate — a court-supervised process that can take months. A trust, on the other hand, can transfer assets without probate, which saves time and keeps your affairs private. Many Texas families use both: a trust for their primary assets and a will as a safety net for anything the trust doesn't cover.
It depends on what you need. A straightforward will typically costs less than a trust-based plan. At Dickey Law Group, we're upfront about fees from the start — no surprises. During your free consultation, we'll outline exactly what services make sense for your situation and what they'll cost.
Texas intestacy laws take over, and the results can be complicated. If you're married with children, your spouse and kids may have to share your estate in ways you didn't intend. If you're unmarried, your assets pass to your closest relatives — parents, siblings, or even distant cousins. A will takes about an hour to set up and prevents all of that uncertainty.
A straightforward probate with a valid will can wrap up in a few months. More complex estates — especially those with disputes or missing documents — can stretch to a year or longer. Independent administration, which is common in Texas, tends to move faster because it requires less court oversight.
Texas law requires an attorney for most probate proceedings. But beyond the legal requirement, having a lawyer helps you avoid costly mistakes — missed deadlines, improperly filed documents, or overlooked creditor claims. Our firm handles probate regularly and can guide you through the process from start to finish.
