How to find out whether a deceased relative has a will on file in Texas?

Note that, as with many U.S. States, a Texas-based will is not required to be filed with any local or State office. Regardless, as with most legal matters, the living relatives should seek the deceased's legal representative, who may know of a will duly recorded and on file with the local authorities. If the deceased had no attorney, it is possible that a will was placed on file by the deceased at his/her town hall and/or probate court and/or some other local government office. Note that even if a will is found, it may not be the most recent one nor may it be valid (it is too complicated to discuss, here). In such cases, or if a will cannot be found after a diligent search has been made, a judge would need to decide the fate of the deceased's estate in probate court. Again, the living relatives should hire a lawyer to find the will, if it exists, and/or arrange for a probate hearing. The State of Texas link, below, gives excellent information concerning wills and probate, but it is based on the body of Texas law, and, as such, may not be understandable to the average layperson.

Vaginitis test - wet mount?

Definition

The vaginitis wet mount test is a test to detect an infection of the vagina that does not involve the urinary tract.

See also: Vaginitis

Alternative Names

Wet prep

How the test is performed

You will be asked to lie on your back with your feet in the stirrups. The health care provider will perform a pelvic examination and then insert an instrument called a speculum into the vagina. The speculum is slightly opened. This holds the vagina open and allows the health care provider to see inside.

The health care provider inserts a sterile, moist cotton swab into the vagina to take a sample of discharge. The swab and speculum are removed. The discharge is placed onto a slide and placed under a microscope so that it can be checked for signs of infection.

How to prepare for the test

Do not douche for 24 hours before the test.

How the test will feel

There may be slight discomfort with the pelvic examination and when the speculum is inserted.

Why the test is performed

The test looks for the cause of vaginal irritation and discharge.

Normal Values

A normal test result means there are no signs of an infection.

What abnormal results mean

  • Bacterial vaginosis -- bacteria that normally live in the vagina overgrow, causing a heavy, white, fishy-smelling discharge and possibly a rash, painful intercourse, or odor after intercourse
  • Trichomoniasis-- a sexually transmitted disease
  • Vaginal yeast infection
