What Types of Issues are Covered in a Will?

While a will can govern the distribution of all or a portion of a person’s assets after death, this is by no means the only function of a will. In Texas, wills are also used to:

• Name a personal representative or executor
• Provide funeral and burial instructions
• Provide the ability for heirs to disclaim their inheritance rights for tax purposes
• Provide the ability for personal representatives and executors to make tax elections
