When you turn to us, you get a team that has experience in the full range of probate and estate planning law issues. We’ve successfully helped clients through issues such as:

• Probate: Every estate, no matter its size, may go through probate unless there is a lot of work taken to avoid it. This court process isn’t simple or short, but we will stay with you throughout.
• Small estate affidavits: One way to circumnavigate probate, if the estate is small enough, is to use a small estate affidavit. These have complex rules though, and you will benefit from our help.
• Nonprobate assets: There are many assets that do not go through probate. We can help you utilize these to the fullest effect.
• Out-of-state wills: Texas will respect an out-of-state will, but certifying it and applying it under Texas law can be challenging.
• Trusts: Few things are as impactful as using trusts to avoid probate, but they require the help of an attorney to set up properly, and to manage.
• Wills: Even a well-drafted will by a Texas attorney must meet strict validity requirements. We can review or re-draft your will as necessary to meet those goals.
• Powers of attorney: Everyone may need someone to make decisions for them when they can no longer do so themselves. Powers of attorney are the documents that make that work.
• Conservatorships and guardianships: The care of people unable to manage their personal or financial well-being may depend on securing a conservatorship or guardianship. We help clients with these challenging legal processes.
• Advanced directives: Also known as Living Wills, these documents provide people with your wishes in case you are suddenly unable to make decisions.

The issues of estate planning are not minor. But we will be your guides throughout your probate or estate planning needs.
