Our Areas of Practice
We provide personalized legal solutions to help you make informed decisions and protect your loved ones.
Elder Law
Elder law covers a range of legal and financial matters that impact seniors and their families. In addition to planning for older generations, elder law attorneys frequently assist parents of children with special needs to ensure that their child will be provided for in the future.
Estate Planning
Estate planning involves preparing for the administration of your estate in the event of incapacity or death. Many people assume that a will is all they need, but planning for incapacity is just as crucial as planning for asset distribution.
Probate
Many people fear probate, but in Texas, there are multiple options to ensure that a loved one's estate is handled in a cost-effective and efficient manner. We can guide executors through the legal process and assist with trust administration and asset distribution.
Guardianship
Guardianship is a legal process where a court appoints someone to manage the affairs of a minor or an incapacitated person. Whether you need to establish guardianship for an aging parent or a child with special needs, we can help.
