Estate Planning: Taxes

Estate taxes don’t come into play for an individual who dies until the estate is valued at over $3.5 million in 2009, but the law could change, and probably will for 2010!

Estate Planning: Probate

The probate system in Texas has been created to effectively and efficiently disperse the assets of a decedent with every effort made to provide those assets to whom the decedent chooses, or if no will has been made, to family members.

Estate Planning: Trusts

Estate planning is not an expensive process that creates an even more expensive probate process, and a trust is not always the wise decision. Texas has an independent executor system.

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.
