Estate Planning Attorney in Cypress, TX

Wills, trusts, and directives

A well-drafted Texas will can name an independent executor and waive the requirement of a bond, which usually makes administration faster and less expensive. Revocable living trusts, statutory durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, directives to physicians, and HIPAA authorizations round out a complete plan.

Transfer on death deeds and beneficiary designations can move specific assets outside of probate when they are coordinated with the rest of the plan.

Probate and dying without a will

If you die without a will, the Texas Estates Code intestacy rules determine who inherits, and the result frequently surprises blended families and unmarried partners. Heirship proceedings add cost and delay.

Texas independent administration is generally efficient when a valid will provides for it, which is one of the strongest reasons to put a plan in writing.
