Long-Term Care Planning and Elder Law
Long-Term Care Planning and Elder Law addresses issues affecting families and individuals as they age, helping meet medical and non-medical needs.
Estate Planning
Estate Planning is important at all stages of life, helping you take the steps needed to stay in charge, save money, and leave your loved ones the legacy you desire.
Probate
Probate is a court-managed process that proves what you own, what you are owed, and how your assets should be transferred after you are gone.
Wills and Trusts
Wills and trusts can distribute an estate after death, ensuring that your final wishes are carried out. Trusts can also be used to manage your property while you are alive.
Texas Guardianship
Guardianship creates a legal relationship between a guardian and an incapacitated person to benefit and protect the incapacitated person and, if needed, their estate. There are many alternatives.
Special Needs Planning
Special Needs Planning helps individuals with disabilities and their families plan for the future and provide for their lifelong needs.
