Experienced Estate Planning Attorneys to Serve You

Call or text us at 800-929-1725 for an appointment. We offer you estate planning attorneys with sophisticated legal expertise and small-town Texas values to assist you. Whether you're interested in complex trust arrangements and generation-skipping transfers or just a simple will, our attorneys can help.

There are four basic documents that should be part of every estate plan -- a will, the financial and medical powers of attorney, a HIPAA release form, and a directive to physicians and family.  If you've done no estate planning, you might start with those.  However, if you have a substantial estate, if you own a business, or if you own real estate or mineral interests, your estate plan might need to be more complex.

If you moved to Texas from another state or if your family situation has changed because of divorce or marriage, you should review your estate planning documents with an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure that your estate plan will continue to reflect your wishes.  Wills and other estate planning documents vary from state to state.  A marriage or divorce can also impact your retirement and investment accounts and your estate plan.

We have five offices to serve you in Southeast Texas. We have offices in Wharton and El Campo in Wharton County, Fulshear and Richmond in Fort Bend County, and Bay City in Matagorda County.

We've also created a series of videos to provide you with general information about Texas wills, estate planning, estate administration and probate.

To get started, please call or text our office at 800-929-1725 or use our contact form to send us an email.
