What the Internet Doesn't Tell You About Estate Planning

Even though death and taxes are inevitable, if you’re like most people, you’re not fully prepared to deal with either of them. So you pay an accountant to do your taxes, but rather than paying an estate attorney, you decide to do your will yourself by downloading a form off the internet.

According to estate planning and probate attorney Ross Tew, that’s a decision that could be life-altering for your loved ones – and not in a good way. In his talk, “What the Internet Doesn’t Tell You About Estate Planning,” Ross will help to dispel online myths about trusts, probate and guardianship, including:

• What it takes to make a will valid in Texas
• What it takes to have valid will take effect after its maker passes away
• The consequences of different estate planning choices
