Services
Estate planning and guardianship, done carefully
We start by understanding your family, your property and your concerns, then recommend the documents that fit. Nothing more than you need.
Living Trusts
Revocable living trusts that can help your family avoid probate, keep matters private, and manage property for beneficiaries over time.
Guardianships
Guardianships for adults who can no longer make their own decisions and for minors, plus less restrictive alternatives when they fit better.
Powers of Attorney
Statutory durable and medical powers of attorney so someone you trust can handle your finances and health care decisions if you can't.
Directives & Designations
Directives to physicians, HIPAA releases, and designations of guardian in advance so your own choices guide what happens later.
Probate & Estates
Help for executors and families after a loss: probating a will, muniments of title, heirship proceedings, and settling the estate.
Why Plan Now
Without a plan, Texas law decides for you
If you pass away without a will, Texas inheritance rules decide who receives your property, and that may not match your wishes. If you become unable to make decisions and have no powers of attorney in place, your family may have to go to court for a guardianship.
A few well-prepared documents can spare the people you love that cost, delay and uncertainty.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a will or a trust?
It depends on your property, your family and your goals. Many people are well served by a will, while others benefit from a revocable living trust to avoid probate or manage property for beneficiaries. We'll explain the trade-offs and recommend what fits.
What happens if I die without a will in Texas?
Your property passes under Texas intestacy laws, which set out who inherits based on family relationships. Your family may also need a court proceeding to determine heirs before property can be transferred.
How does guardianship work?
A guardianship is a court proceeding in which a judge appoints someone to make decisions for a person who cannot make them on their own, such as an adult with diminished capacity or a minor who has inherited property. In Bexar County, guardianships are handled by the statutory probate courts. We guide families through the application, the required evaluations and the hearing.
Can I avoid guardianship for my family?
Often, yes. Durable and medical powers of attorney signed while you are able to make decisions can make a guardianship unnecessary. A designation of guardian also lets you choose who would serve if a guardianship is ever needed.
How often should I update my plan?
Review your plan after major life events, such as a marriage, divorce, birth, death in the family, a move to Texas, or a significant change in property, and every few years even if nothing has changed.
What should I bring to my consultation?
A general list of your property and debts, the names of the people you'd like to include, and any existing wills, trusts or powers of attorney. Don't worry if you don't have everything; we'll tell you what we need.
