Estate Planning Attorney in Alamo Heights

Protect What Matters Most with an Estate Plan Built for You

Estate planning is about taking control of your future and ensuring your loved ones are taken care of on your terms. Our Alamo Heights estate planning attorneys help individuals and families create estate plans tailored to protect their assets, reflect their goals, and provide peace of mind for generations to come.

Whether you are drafting your first will, creating a trust for your children or grandchildren, or planning for long-term care, we are here to offer practical guidance and tailored legal solutions. Your life is unique, and your estate plan should be as well.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning is not just for the wealthy or older adults. The earlier you put an estate plan in place, the safer the future for the people you love. If you own a home, have children, or care about what happens to your health and property should something unexpected occur, you need an estate plan. It is your opportunity to communicate your wishes, prevent confusion for your loved ones, and protect your family from unnecessary stress due to financial problems or taxation issues. Without proper planning, any of the following could happen:

• The State of Texas could decide how your assets are distributed.
• Your family could face unavoidable court proceedings and costly delays.
• Healthcare and financial decisions could be made by a person you would not have chosen.
• Guardians for your minor children may be appointed without your input.

What Our Firm Can Help You Do

We take the time to understand your specific goals and concerns. Our firm offers a full range of estate planning services, including the following:

• Wills: Your last will and testament lays the foundation of your estate plan. It allows you to name an executor, distribute assets, and designate guardians for minor children. We can help ensure your will is legally sound and reflects your true intentions.
• Revocable Living Trusts: Trusts are powerful tools for protecting privacy, avoiding probate, and managing assets over time. Our Alamo Heights estate planning lawyers structure trusts tailored to your needs, whether planning for incapacity, caring for a loved one with special needs, or simply wanting to avoid the time involved in an estate moving through the probate system.
• Powers of Attorney: Accidents and illnesses can happen. We prepare durable powers of attorney for financial matters and healthcare decisions so someone you trust can act on your behalf if necessary.
• Advance Directives: These critical documents express your healthcare preferences and end-of-life choices, sparing your family from having to guess or argue about what you would want. 
• Asset Protection Planning: We can help professionals, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals shield their assets from creditors, lawsuits, and future risks through proactive planning and smart legal structuring.
• Probate and Estate Administration: If you have lost a loved one and need help navigating probate, we can assist with the legal and procedural requirements, including executor duties, inventory preparation, and final distributions.

Relationships Built on Trust

Estate planning is personal. It requires not only legal knowledge but also empathy, discretion, and honest conversations. We listen first and take the time to understand the reasons behind your decisions rather than rushing you through a cookie-cutter checklist. Our clients include young parents, blended families navigating more complex dynamics, professionals preparing for long-term security, business owners concerned about business succession issues, and retirees planning their legacies. Whatever your background and goals, you deserve a plan that fits and an attorney who is genuinely in your corner.
