Local Texas Estate Planning Attorneys Here to Help You
When you hire us to help you prepare and implement an effective estate plan, we’ll start by learning as much as we can about your financial situation as well as your goals and objectives. Our Texas Estate Planning attorneys look closely at how you own your assets, your need to provide for family members, and your tax concerns. We will identify your options for transferring your estate, from wills, trusts and other dispositive legal documents to lifetime gifts or the re-titling of assets.
Once you’ve determined the best approach to meet your objectives, we’ll draft, review and execute the documents necessary to put your estate plan in place, including:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Living wills
- Advance medical directives
If you have family members with special needs, our estate planning lawyers can help you take the right steps to provide for and protect them after you’re gone, either through a special needs trust or the creation of a guardianship or conservatorship.
