Do I need a will? How would my property be distributed if I die with and without a will? How would it effect my children? What is a living will and is it preferable?

You Probably Qualify to Make a Will in Texas
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old, married, or in the armed forces, and of sound mind;
A will must be signed by the testator (or “by another person for him by his direction and in his presence”); A will must be attested to by two (2) witnesses above the age of 14 who are credible, i.e., not non compos mentis; and The witnesses who subscribe their names to the will must do so in the presence of the testator.
