Wills, Trusts & Probate
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and probate guidance for Texas families.
Plan ahead, and make things easier for your family.
An estate plan decides who receives your property, who cares for your children, and who can make decisions for you if you cannot. When a loved one passes, we guide families through probate so the estate is settled correctly and with as little stress as possible.

Common questions
What happens if someone dies without a will in Texas?
Texas law decides who inherits, which may not match what the person would have wanted. The family usually needs a court proceeding to establish who the heirs are before property can be transferred.
Is probate in Texas complicated?
Often less than people expect. Texas allows simpler options, such as independent administration, and in some cases a will can be probated without a full administration.
Should I have a will or a trust?
It depends on your assets, your family, and your goals. Many people are well served by a will and powers of attorney; a trust can make sense in other situations. We will walk through the options with you.
