A will is a legal document that directs how your assets are distributed after your death and can name guardians for minor children. A trust is a separate legal entity that can hold and manage assets during your lifetime and after, often helping you avoid probate and maintain privacy.

Yes. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy, it’s about protecting your loved ones, making your wishes clear, and avoiding unnecessary legal complications, no matter your asset size.

You should review your estate plan regularly and after major life changes (like marriage, divorce, or a new child). Contact your attorney to make updates and ensure your documents still reflect your wishes.

If you pass away without a will, state law decides how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. This can also cause delays and stress for your family.

Texas has its own laws regarding wills, trusts, and probate. Our attorneys are experienced in Texas estate law and can also help clients with assets or family in other states.

It’s a good idea to review your estate plan every few years or whenever you experience a major life event. Regular reviews help keep your plan current and effective.
