AREAS OF LAW WE PRACTICE |
|
| Estates Planning | Estate planning seeks to get the estate to the right heirs with the least tax, the least cost, the least hassle, and with precision of timing for younger generations. |
| Wills & Trusts | If you die without a will, the state has one for you. This is called "intestate succession". It is difficult to summarize Texas' laws regarding intestate succession. |
| Estate & Gift Taxes | The federal estate tax is a tax on the transfer of wealth from a deceased person to others, usually his family. At its simplest, you add up the estate, subtract the deductions, subtract the exemption amount, and tax the rest. |
| Probate | A carefully crafted estate plan may minimize the publicity and expense of the probate process as well as disputes when a loved one dies. When such disputes do arise, we have the skills and experience to resolve them. We have extensive expertise in all types of such disputes, including contested wills, trust restructuring, guardianships proceedings, financial conservatorships, fiduciary accountings, and other claims that may arise. |
| Guardianship | We also regularly represent parties involved in petitions for guardianship and conservatorship. We represent fiduciaries of all types, thus minimizing litigation by educating them as to their duties and working with them to fulfill their responsibilities. We also are experienced in handling litigation that does arise involving fiduciaries. |
| Family Limited Partnerships | FLPs are bona fide business entities designed to hold a family's assets together while protecting those assets from future creditors. It can ensure proper management of a large estate spread among many family members. |
