Houston Estate Planning & Trust Attorney
If you’re starting to plan your estate, you may already find that your head is swimming with information. Get help making sense of it all. The Curry Law Firm can assist you in understanding and planning every component of your estate.
A living will is essentially your advanced directive. Your last will and testament is your opportunity to express your wishes upon your passing. It’s up to your lawyer to ensure that the distribution of your assets and appointment of guardians are clearly outlined in your will.
At Curry Law Firm, we work closely with you to ensure your plan is clear, complete, and compliant with Texas law—so your family isn’t left with questions or court delays.
What will you do if you are no longer able to make decisions regarding your own money? Having a financial power of attorney protects you from being taken advantage of when you are no longer capable of making such decisions.
If you’re unable to make medical decisions on your own, your estate should include advanced directives and a medical power of attorney. It should describe your health wishes should you become incapacitated and name a power of attorney who is authorized to make decisions for you.
Texas intestacy laws say that if you die without a will, your estate is automatically entered into the probate process. Your beneficiaries will need to show the court that they are entitled to fair distribution of your assets. An estate lawyer assisting in the development of your will could save your family up to two years worth of probate court hassles.
It’s up to you to protect your family and make sure that your estate is fully prepared in the case of your death or inability to make decisions for yourself. This is a complex process that requires precise attention to detail.
