The first priority for estate planning - whether using living trusts or wills (with powers of attorney, guardianship designations, medical powers of attorney and advance directives) - is to have confidence in your attorney. 

How do you know if you should see an estate planning attorney?  Provide me your name and mailing address (via e-mail, telephone, fax, or U.S. mail), and I will send you my "Estate Planning Checklist" free of charge.   The checklist will help you determine if you need to consult with an estate planning attorney.

FREE OFFICE CONSULTATION : Everyone gets a free consultation in my office to inquire about living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, guardianship designations, and medical instructions. In less than an hour, you will know whether you want my help as an attorney. Most free consultations result in clients who know that their wishes will be properly translated into legal documents that protect their family - at a reasonable price that is known in advance. There are no obligations or strings attached to the free consultation offer.  

LIVING TRUSTS : A living trust may be a good alternative to a will and probate. You can learn how a living trust can serve you and your family by keeping your private business and family matters confidential and out of the public records (a living trust need not be filed before or after death to be effective) and how a living trust will accomplish your estate planning purposes (including tax planning) with complete privacy. We will explore that carefully at your free consultation.

PROBATE : A free consultation about will probate is offered to everyone facing that process. A will has no effect until it is accepted for probate by a court. Texas law offers only a few, limited choices in probating wills. Those choices are fully explored at the free consultation where every probate choice is examined to find the simplest process that protects legal rights and titles.   

BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS : Sometimes different business organizations or entities produce different results and business activities can be managed through the use of a partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or small business corporation (through which the owners report income individually). A free consultation will answer your questions about which type of business entity will best serve you, your business associates, and your future.  

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS:  Questions regarding real estate transactions can be discussed at a free consultation. Whether you are buying a new home or a commercial building, or leasing real property, you will profit by a free, confidential consultation to explore your plans and get your questions answered before committing yourself.

FEES : Before you are obligated to pay any fee for my services, you will always know the work I will do and the cost of it prior to any obligation or commitment on your part.  

FREE CONSULTATION : To take advantage of this offer of a free consultation, phone me at 806-373-4333. (TOLL FREE at 800-687-6336).
