How To Be Prepared: Holographic Will Webinar 

Wednesday, April 15, 2020 | 2:00 - 3:00 PM

Not only during times of a pandemic but at all times, everyone should have a will – and Texas Law allows you to prepare a valid Texas will in your own handwriting. During this webinar, you will learn how to prepare a totally valid handwritten will in Texas, as well as to discuss other helpful healthcare documents during this time of emergency. After the pandemic is over, we certainly encourage everyone to have a statutory will drafted by a lawyer, but at this time of staying home, you don’t have to wait. Topics to be covered:

  • Components of a will
  • Basic language needed
  • Steps to take to ensure your will is valid according to Texas law
  • Overview of other helpful healthcare documents you should consider during this time







Our presenter will be Mitchell Avila Katine with Chamber Member, Katine Nechman McLaurin LLP.
