Estate Planning. We use sound legal techniques, including wills, trusts, partnerships, and other legal entities to keep our clients' assets safe and their fundamental beliefs and legacies intact. We believe that when a crisis hits, you and your family should be in control of your assets with the least amount of court intervention and with the least amount of income, capital gain and estate tax.

Of prime importance to many clients is the reduction of potential estate tax and ensuring children will not be disinherited if a surviving spouse chooses to remarry. We explain techniques to reduce or eliminate estate tax and to ensure a surviving spouse will not inadvertently disinherit children without using legalese—in a manner which our clients are actually able to understand and appreciate.

Probate and Estate Administration. When a loved one passes, we counsel through the probate and estate administration process. We are familiar with the courts in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Blanco, Burnet and Bastrop counties. We have developed a probate process that provides our clients with an understanding of what to expect, a timeline with set goals and organizational tools to ensure the process stays on track.

Guardianship. We assist many families obtain a guardianship over a loved one who is incapacitated. Because our firm handles a significant number of guardianship matters, we have streamlined the process and make it easy for our clients to understand all the nuances. We have assisted with guardianship cases throughout Texas, from Texarkana to El Paso; however, we primarily serve clients who live in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Blanco, Burnet and Bastrop counties.

What does your family need?

Different families have different planning needs. Each is concerned with bringing order to their affairs as well as passing on their goals, values, and passion for life's important matters. Families of modest means need to provide for their physical and financial concerns, as well as long term care.

Families who are members of the great American middle class need to protect their hard-won assets, to use the tax laws to maximum advantage, and to ensure their children's inheritance.

Affluent families must concern themselves with the same issues, as well as the stewardship of their wealth and the responsibilities they wish to pass on to their family members.

Families with a loved one with special needs one must concern themselves with guardianship, government benefits and ensuring their loved one is supported for a lifetime.

When a loved one passes, families need legal counsel to help guide them through the probate and estate administration process.
