Services
While many forms are available on the internet, every state has specific laws regarding the drafting and execution of wills and you may not find the exact language that you need for a valid Texas will.
The most commonly misdrafted aspect of the "homemade" Texas will is the self-proving affidavit, which has to be very exact to meet statutory requirements.
Without a proper self-proving affidavit, your estate will have to produce witnesses in court in order to probate your will, and this will create considerably more expense to your estate than if you had a properly drafted will in the first place.

If you are planning on buying or selling a house, you might need to employ a lawyer to assist you with the Earnest Money Contract, especially if you're not being represented by a real estate brokerage firm.
Once you've entered into the contract, a lawyer can also shed some light on all the documents the mortgage company wants you to sign, if you're a buyer, or the legal obligations imposed on you by law, if you're a seller.
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you should review the Settlement Statement prepared by the title company carefully, and a lawyer can help you to understand it better if you have any questions about it.
