Estate Planning

Our office provides guidance in every aspect of estate planning to individuals living in the Dallas- Fort Worth Metroplex, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Waco, and surrounding areas. Our attorneys recognize that providing a secure future for yourself and your loved ones is your primary objective. Our attorneys are experienced in the creation of wills, trusts, and other planning documents. We can also assist you with the creation of various financial and healthcare directives including living wills, and both medical and general powers of attorney. In addition, we can assist you in setting up guardianships or appointing guardians in case of future health and safety issues. We strive to ensure that your financial and physical future is directed as you see fit, and we will assist you in distributing your property to those you care about when the time comes.

As events in our lives take place, our financial, family, and health situations change. We recommend our clients review their documents often with us, so that any changes can be made early. Any major event, including a marriage, birth or adoption of a child, a death, or divorce can change your future outlook, and the effectiveness of your estate planning documents. Our estate-planning attorneys can help make sure that after you are gone, your property is distributed according to your wishes. Texas has an effective and relatively simple probate process that allows a person to avoid most of the horror stories associated with probate. The knowledge and expertise of our attorneys and staff assists our clients to lessen or even avoid death taxes and preclude problems in probate altogether.

No one likes to think about what bad things might happen to him or her in the future. Unfortunately, an accident or some other unforeseen event can have disastrous results and render you extremely ill, unconscious, unable to communicate, or incompetent. We encourage all of our clients meet with us to make clear, in a legal document, their wishes regarding medical treatments, and financial affairs. In the tragic event that you are ever unable to communicate your desires, these directives are crucial to ensuring that your wishes are carried out by your loved ones and medical personnel. Our experienced attorneys can aid you in drafting directives that will guide your family and medical providers in making decisions that are in harmony with what you want. We can help you draft medical powers of attorney, directives, and durable powers of attorney that will help your trusted loved ones and medical providers make important decisions if you are unable to do so. In addition, we can draft documents that dictate who should become you and/or your minor child's guardian in the unfortunate event it becomes necessary.
