Tarrant County Estate Planning Attorney

Tarrant County Estate Planning Lawyer Serving Tarrant County

For most people, the thought of death is unpleasant, and considering how their family members will handle matters after they are gone may be difficult. However, it is important to make sure these issues are addressed properly before it is too late. By creating an estate plan, a person can help their loved ones avoid uncertainty and confusion in the midst of dealing with the sorrow of their loss, and they can make sure they have taken the proper steps to help provide for their family's needs. Estate planning can also provide a number of other benefits, including making sure a person's own needs will be provided for throughout their lifetime and ensuring that their wishes regarding end-of-life care will be followed.

We can guide you through the process of creating a comprehensive estate plan that will safeguard your assets and ensure that your wishes will be followed, no matter what may happen in the years to come.

Legal Help and Financial Advice During the Estate Planning Process

Our firm understands that every person's and family's needs are unique, and we work to help our clients understand the tools that will best fit their needs. We provide guidance on how a person can protect against financial losses and transfer ownership of assets to heirs and beneficiaries with minimal complications. We also help our clients make decisions about how to meet their financial and personal needs throughout the remainder of their lives and ensure that legal documents are in place to make sure loved ones and medical providers will follow their wishes.

We assist with all aspects of estate planning, including:

• Wills and trusts - While a last will and testament can detail a person's decisions about who should inherit their property, trusts may also be used to facilitate the transfer of assets and ensure that they are used correctly. We ensure that our clients understand their options, and we help them establish legally sound documents that will protect their interests.
• Trust and estate administration - In addition to establishing trusts that will hold assets and transfer them to beneficiaries, we can also assist with the administration of these trusts, ensuring that trustees will be able to follow a person's instructions, manage different types of assets, and protect the rights and interests of beneficiaries.
• Elder law - As a person gets closer to the end of their life, they may need to protect their rights, ensure that they will have the financial resources to support themselves, and make decisions about their medical care. We work to make sure elderly people will be able to live the rest of their lives in comfort while also helping their loved ones avoid uncertainty about a person's wishes if they ever become incapacitated or unable to express their desires.
• Ancillary documents - In addition to wills and trusts, there are a variety of other documents that may be included in an estate plan. We help our clients create powers of attorney addressing their healthcare and finances, and we also assist with advance medical directives, guardianship appointments, HIPAA releases, and other important legal and financial documents.
