Legal Definitions
Report
Will - A legal document written to ensure that upon your death, your assets are given to the people that you specify. A will can be a testamentary instrument which merely: (1) appoints an executor or guardian; (2) directs how property may not be disposed of; or (3) revokes another will. In Texas, a will must be fully in the handwriting of the decedent or it must be signed by the testator and witnessed by two persons.
