Forming a limited liability entity (corporation or limited liability company) is a fairly easy process in most states. You simply need to file a one or two-page formation document (Certificate of Formation in Texas) and pay the requisite filing fee. This is often the point where new entrepreneurs stop. Or they may go a bit further and use an online service which provides a one-size-fits-all governing document (company operating agreement or bylaws). They feel they have protected themselves from liability and future problems. Unfortunately, this alone is not enough if they fail to follow operational formalities. Nor do these limited steps address many potential issues that can arise later with ownership, transfers, or disputes between owners. These can be just as problematic as potential exposure to liability from the business operations. Relying on the default or statutory provisions is not a good answer, as they are often lacking or result in unexpected outcomes when these situations arise. Without detailed internal governing document(s) to resolve them, the owner(s) often face costly and time-consuming challenges down the road.

Most people assume that what happens after their death—particularly the distribution of their money and property—is a private family matter. In reality, Texas probate is often a public process.

Probate is the legal process of collecting, managing, and distributing a deceased person’s assets. Because probate occurs through the court system, most probate filings become part of the public record.

That means your nosy neighbor Nancy can simply visit the courthouse—or even search online—to learn details about your estate.

As a parent, you are legally responsible for supporting your child until they reach the age of majority (18 years old). You must provide medical care, education, food, housing, and clothing. If you were to unexpectedly die or become incapacitated, somebody needs to step in and fulfill your parental duties.

Parents should name a guardian—and ideally, a list of alternate guardians in case your first choice does not work out—in their estate plan. If you do not name a legal guardian in your will or a separate document, a court will choose somebody to care for your child.
