Wills and Probate |
No one wants to pass away, but it comes to all of us in time. When it happens for you, be prepared. In anticipation of your day of passing, we assist clients with:
Last Wills and Testaments
Instead of letting the Texas Estates Code dictate what a happens to your estate, you can designate the individuals, trusts, or other beneficiaries such as churches, colleges and charities that will receive your property and possessions when you pass away.
Revocable Trusts
An alternative to a will that allows a person to create a trust that can be amended during his life. Particularly handy for blended families with children from prior relationships.
Appointments of Agent for Disposition of Remains
A document appointing someone or several individuals to be in charge of the decision whether burial or cremation is appropriate.

Durable Power of Attorney
A legal document showing that you intend that the powers will continue despite incapacity.
