Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Absolutely. Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy — it's for anyone who has loved ones, owns property, or has wishes about their healthcare and finances. Without a plan, the state of Texas decides what happens to your assets, and your family may face lengthy, costly court proceedings.

A will goes into effect at your death and must pass through probate court. A trust can take effect during your lifetime, allows assets to pass to beneficiaries without probate, and provides more privacy and flexibility. Many families benefit from having both. Our attorneys will help you determine what's best for your situation.

We offer transparent flat-fee arrangements so you know the cost upfront — no billing surprises. The investment varies based on the complexity of your plan, but we'll discuss all fees during your free consultation. The cost of planning is always far less than the cost of not planning.

No. A power of attorney authorizes someone to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf while you are alive, but it does not give them authority to alter your will. Your will only takes effect at death and cannot be changed by anyone other than you while you are living.

We primarily serve clients in the Austin and San Antonio areas with offices in both cities, but we are licensed throughout the state of Texas. Contact us to discuss your specific location and we'll let you know how we can best assist you.
