Estate Planning

Do You Need Estate Planning in Austin Texas? We can help.

Estate Planning in Austin, Texas is one of the most important, yet often overlooked steps we take to protect our families in the event of trouble. Unfortunately, over 70% of American adults do not have even the most basic form of estate planning – a will.

Estate Planning in Austin, Texas has four main goals:

1. to designate who will be the guardian of your children
2. to pass your property to the people you choose
3. to reduce or eliminate expenses, taxes, court interference and wasted time during the transfer of the property
4. eliminate the ability for others to interfere in your decisions.

Your age, marital status, or wealth doesn’t matter when considering whether or not you need Estate Planning in Austin, Texas. Whether you are young, old, single, married, divorced, a domestic partner, straight or gay (LGBT), you must take care to ensure your well being throughout your life and that your loved ones are taken care of at your death.

The most common misconception about Estate Planning in Austin, Texas is that only the wealthy need Estate Planning. Nothing could be farther from the truth. If you have assets such as a home, a car, bank accounts, insurance or other property, you need an estate plan.

If you have children, Estate Planning is even more important for you, regardless of your assets. If something happens to you and your spouse at the same time or if one parent is re-married, it’s critical that you plan who will care for your children.

Without proper Estate Planning, the State of Texas may have to make these decisions for you.

I’ve heard all of the excuses…not enough time, not enough money for an attorney, too busy to think about it. Considering the consequences, can you really afford not to plan your estate?

Remember, you should hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
