A will is a document which controls the passage of your property upon your death. In Texas, there are two basic types of wills -- (1) the attested or formal will, which is in writing and is witnessed (by two or more witnesses) and (2) the holographic will, which is wholly in the testator’s handwriting and signed by the testator. Generally, the most effective wills are the attested or formal wills.
