Wills & Trusts Planning

A well-crafted estate plan begins with a properly executed will that reflects your wishes and protects your beneficiaries. Beyond basic wills, trusts offer powerful tools for asset protection, tax minimization, and legacy preservation.

I work with Texas families to create comprehensive estate plans tailored to their unique circumstances, whether you need a simple will or complex trust structures to protect significant assets and provide for multiple generations.

Powers of Attorney & Healthcare Directives

Estate planning extends beyond asset distribution. You need trusted individuals who can make financial and medical decisions if you become unable to do so. Powers of attorney and healthcare directives are essential components of any comprehensive estate plan.

These documents ensure your affairs are managed according to your wishes during periods of incapacity, preventing family conflicts and court intervention when you need care and support most.

Business Succession Planning

If you own a business, estate planning becomes more complex but even more critical. Without proper succession planning, your life's work could be lost to taxes, family disputes, or forced liquidation.

I help business owners create comprehensive succession plans that preserve business value, minimize taxes, and ensure smooth transitions—whether to family members, key employees, or outside buyers.

Asset Protection & Privacy

Protecting your wealth from potential creditors, lawsuits, and other threats requires proactive planning. Asset protection strategies must be implemented before problems arise and must carefully balance protection with accessibility and tax efficiency.

Through trusts, limited liability entities, and strategic asset titling, we can create multiple layers of protection for your family's wealth while maintaining full compliance with all applicable laws.

  • Irrevocable and Revocable Trusts
  • Homestead and Retirement Account Protection
