So Many Reasons to Have a Will • So that you can direct and determine who inherits your property, not the State of Texas; • So parents can direct and determine who is to raise and care for their minor children; • So parents can direct and determine who controls and manages their assets for the care and benefit of their minor children; • So you can ease the burden on your loved ones left behind. Having a will allows for the least disruption to the lives of the surviving loved ones. Often people do not make a will of their own until they have personal experience in settling the estate of a loved one and only then do they realize the importance of having one’s affairs in order; • So you can streamline the inheritance of your property so the expense of probate will be minimal. The money spent on the preparation of a Last Will and Testament, will greatly lessen the amount of time and cost spent on probating your estate. It is the same as the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”; • So you can put into place any estate planning that is necessary to reduce or eliminate estate taxes; and • So many other reasons, they are too numerous to list them all.

Promptly Probate the Will of Your Loved One

• To have the authority to carry out the wishes of your Loved One; • To resolve any title issues of your Loved One’s Real Property during YOUR life time; • To limit the expense of the probate, since usually the longer you wait the more costly it becomes; • To prevent passing the need to probate your Loved One’s Will on to someone else; • To avoid the 4 year statute of limitations; • To avoid the Will from being lost or misplaced before it can be probated; and • Too many other reasons to Promptly Probate Your Loved One’s Will to list them all.

Are you ready for the next HURRICANE? QUESTION: Other than rising water,

what is the most important concern that people have before, during and after a hurricane?

ANSWER: LOSING POWER!

Let’s face it, there is a lot to do, to prepare for hurricanes. The good news is: you have time to prepare. The sad news is: most people don’t prepare.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PREPARE? Install a Whole-House Generator:

• Generators can be expensive, but a good whole-house generator can assure that you have power in your house during and after the storm. Electricity can be off in your neighborhood for days and weeks. Don’t be left in the dark!

Install a Circuit-Specific Generator:

• Generators can be installed for specific circuits, such as: for a refrigerator, a stove, or minimal lighting. Smaller generator costs less and use less fuel. A Circuit-Specific Generator can keep your food supply safe and give your family some comfort during and after the storm.

Install a Whole-House Surge Protector:

• More electrical damage is caused after a storm, when the power comes back on.

Electrical surges can damage electronics, appliances, and receptacles. Plus, with a Whole-House Surge Protector, you no longer need those ugly and difficult-to-hide stripplugs. A Whole-House Surge Protector is good to have year-round. They are installed at your breaker panel. And the best part is: they are affordable.

DEUCE ELECTRICAL has the knowledge and experience to help you with preparing for hurricanes. Remember, power outages happen for many reasons: blown transformers, tree limbs falling on electrical lines, and lightning. Think about how much less stress you will have by knowing your electricity is not on your list of worries.

We’re Here All Year Long!

For the rest of the year, DEUCE ELECTRICAL is available for all your other electric needs.

Whether you need a plug fixed, have problems with indoor or outdoor lighting, breakers keep tripping, or upgrading to LED fixtures, DEUCE ELECTRICAL can resolve all your electrical needs.
