Estate Planning, Business Transactions & Asset Protection

Circumstances in life overlap. How can you be sure to pick an attorney that can stitch the seams of your complex life together? I am a Texas board-certified estate planning attorney. Most people know that estate planning law firms help you with basic estate planning tools like wills. With over 28 years of experience as an attorney focusing on assisting people in planning for the future rather than resolving problems in the present, my firm considers the larger picture. 

When we sit down together, we will discuss your broad life goals, including:

  • Ways to ensure your business will remain under your family's ownership and operational control.
  • Strategies for reducing your taxes now and making sure your heirs and beneficiaries aren't burdened with taxes when you die.
  • Legal instruments to allow you to make decisions on behalf of elderly or incapacitated loved ones.
  • Transactional concerns about passing on the title to your home-related to estate planning and asset protection.
