Who We Serve
Trust-Centered Estate Planning
How We Help Families Avoid Probateand Maintain Control
We design trust-based plans to help families avoid probate, protect assets, and maintain control across generations. Most clients we serve don't need just a will — they need a living trust paired with the right ancillary documents to keep their estate out of court and in their family's hands.
- Avoid Probate. A funded revocable living trust keeps your estate out of Texas probate court — saving your family time, attorney fees, and public exposure.
- Maintain Control. You stay in charge of your assets while you're alive and well. Your trust dictates exactly how, when, and to whom assets pass — no court oversight required.
- Protect Privacy. Probate is public. Trusts are private. Your beneficiaries, asset values, and distribution terms remain confidential.
- Plan for Incapacity. If you become incapacitated, your successor trustee takes over — no guardianship proceeding, no court-appointed stranger making decisions for your family.
You Likely Need a Trust If…
- You own a home, business, or investment property in Texas
- You have minor children, a special-needs dependent, or blended family
- You hold assets in more than one state (or country)
- Your estate exceeds $75,000 — Texas probate threshold
- Privacy from public probate records matters to you
- You want a successor trustee — not a court — managing your affairs
Important: Even with a trust, you still need a Pour-Over Will to catch any assets you forget to transfer. We design both as part of every trust-based plan.
