Wills, Trusts & Probate
Many people put off planning for their death and the succession of their business to later in life. Unfortunately, life is not something that always sticks to our plan. Our firm can help you with the planning, creation, and funding of the estate planning devices that will allow you to plan for your family’s future. Business owners face unique choices when it comes to planning the continuation of their company. We focus our estate planning practice on the issues that matter most: liability, providing for family needs, and reducing or deferring taxes.
Wills
As the most well-known legal instrument to clarify one’s wishes, wills are a primary means of ensuring the execution of your estate, but it is important to consult with an attorney so that you can be sure to comply with the technicalities of state law. Our Lakeway lawyers will help you understand the intricacies of a will and draft one that meets your wishes and provides for your family.
Trusts
The division of monetary assets and the regulation of their spending are covered chiefly by trusts. These are complex instruments and are generally advisable only for specific situations or to accomplish goals that you have for your financial resources after your death. Our Lakeway lawyers can draft a variety of trusts to work in conjunction with your will or that can stand alone and protect your assets now and for years to come. Every situation is unique, so each trust is truly customized to efficiently meet your needs.
Probate
Our firm can help guide you through the probate process in Texas and ensure that the decedent’s estate is properly handled. We counsel clients on both small and large estates. While most probate issues we counsel on are for those that died without a will, conflicts can and do arise even when a valid will is left by a loved one. While we sincerely hope that this is an issue that you never have to face, our firm is here to represent your interests when a probate issue arises.
