What Is Estate Planning?

In short, estate planning is what it sounds like. It is making a plan for what will happen to your estate after your death and creating legal documents that make your wishes known. Over time, you save money, buy property, and acquire other assets. You may have minor children or dependent adults you want to provide for. Some people want to leave part of their estate to a charitable organization. If you have a family business, you may have a specific plan for who you want to manage it after your death. All of this can be proactively planned for with thoughtful estate planning.

We can handle any estate planning needs, including:

• Guardianship
• International estate planning
• Lady Bird deeds
• Posterity planning
• Probate
• Transfer on Death deed
• Trusts
• Wills

Many clients call us wondering if they can benefit from estate planning. The answer is almost always yes. Estate planning is not only for the super-wealthy. It can be used to help secure your future. For example, you can set up a trust to ensure you or a dependent is taken care of in the event you are incapacitated. With estate planning, you also have the potential to avoid or reduce inheritance and estate taxes and probate fees.

Can a Lawyer Help Me with Probate?

Yes! At Willingham Law Firm, PC., we offer professional probate representation. Probate is a legal process handled by the Texas Probate Court. Upon someone’s death, their estate enters into probate. During this process, the courts will determine how the deceased person’s estate will be divided and who the beneficiaries will be. The courts will also make decisions regarding any debts that are left behind by the deceased person.

Common probate issues that an experienced lawyer can help with include:

• Administrator help
• Challenging a will
• Debt repayment issues
• Distributing assets
• Executor help
• Intestacy estates
• Filing for probate
• Dispute resolution

Probate can be an expensive, lengthy process. It often takes months before the probate process is resolved, and it is not unheard of for probate to take over a year to complete. If you are dealing with a contested will or other problem, this process can become protracted even further.
