Wills & Trusts

Wills & Trusts

Members of our firm are highly skilled in preparation of complex wills, trusts, and other estate structures. We take the time to ensure all of your last wishes and asset distributions are clearly expressed. We also address components such as power of attorney, health care power of attorney, and directives to physicians and family members about life saving or life support measures.

After completion of the will, we can assist you in any trusts you may want to set up for a variety of purposes including:

* Revocable trusts (“living trusts”) to manage assets while the owner is alive
* Trusts for minor children or family members with special needs
* Charitable remainder trusts
* Grantor retained annuity trusts to pass assets free of estate and gift taxes

To discuss particular family circumstances concerning an estate planning matter, to write or formalize a will in Texas, or to prepare for the future with a well drafted estate plan, please consult one of our attorneys.

Estate Planning

Estate Planning downtown san antonio
The goal of estate planning is to distribute the estate in the manner desired by the client, to provide guidance on healthcare wishes, appropriate funeral arrangements, and plan for the guardianship of minor children. We can personalize your estate plan to fit those needs in which you seek.

In addition, we work with our clients to minimize the tax burden of their estate, thereby preserving more for their intended beneficiaries. An estate plan can be especially helpful for unmarried couples in ensuring rights of survivorship. We also advise our clients on ways to pass property outside the probate system. Wills, trusts, and medical powers of attorney are just a few of the tools we utilize to implement a comprehensive estate plan, whether the client needs to update an existing plan or create a new one.
