Estate/Trust & Probate Law"I see estate planning as a vital service to my clients. My accounting, business and real estate background helps me to better understand and provide clients with the plan they need."
For most people a properly drafted Will, Power of Attorney for Business, Power of Attorney for Healthcare and a Directive to Physicians and Loved Ones are the only documents needed for an effective estate plan. While a Will is a basic part of any estate plan, trusts and family limited partnerships can also be important estate planning tools. No matter how simple or complicated an estate may be, everyone must coordinate their probate and non-probate assets as a part of their estate plan.
Probate in Texas, if you have a properly drafted Will and a competent attorney, is not a difficult process. Living Trusts can be used to avoid Probate, but for most people avioding Probate does not justify the creation and funding of a living trust.
