Step 1: Consultation

The process starts with a consultation so that we can determine your wants and desires and devise a plan as to what is the best way to achieve your goals.  We can do this in person or via virtual conference or telephonic conference.  Again, we strive to make the process fit your time restraints and wishes.

Step 2: Gather Information

Gathering information is the next step of the process.  This will allow us to get to know you and your estate. Large, small, or somewhere in between, we can implement the plan determined to best take care of you.

Step 3: Draft Documents

We will then draft the documents and provide you the drafts to review.

Step 4: Execute Documents

Once we have your approval of the documents, we will schedule an appointment for their execution.

1. Last Will and Testament:

This legal document dictates how your assets will be distributed after your death and names an executor to manage your estate. In Texas, a valid will must meet specific requirements:

  • Be in writing
  • Signed by the testator (person making the will)
  • Witnessed by two individuals (not beneficiaries of the will)
  • Testator must be at least 18 years old, of sound mind, and intend for the document to be their will

2. Durable Power of Attorney for Finances:

This document allows you to appoint someone you trust to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated or unable to do so yourself.

3. Medical Power of Attorney:

Also known as a healthcare power of attorney, this document designates someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to communicate with your doctor due to illness or injury.

4. Directive to Physicians and Family or Surrogates:

Commonly called a Living Will or an advance directive, this document outlines your healthcare preferences and end-of-life wishes.

5. Declaration of Guardian:

If you have minor children, this vital document names a guardian to care for them if you become incapacitated or pass away. You can list multiple guardians in order of preference.

6. HIPAA Release:

While not always mandatory, a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) release authorizes healthcare providers to share your medical information with designated individuals, ensuring they can advocate for your care.

Think of it like this:

A will is like a handwritten note saying where you want your belongings to go.

Estate planning is like a detailed map, carefully crafted to make sure you are protected, your wishes followed, and your loved ones receive everything you intended – without unnecessary costs or delays.

Rest assured, knowing that your estate plan has accomplished these three key objectives:

  1. You’ve entrusted a reliable person to handle your affairs.
  2. Your legacy will benefit those closest to your heart.
  3. Your hard-earned assets will be protected and maximized for your heirs.
