Wills and Trust
Dying without a valid will or revocable trust in place creates undue delays, hassles, and costs. If you die without a will or revocable living trust, two attorneys will be involved in your probate, Texas law will determine who will receive your property, and the whole probate process can take much longer to accomplish than if you had a will or trust. If you are married and have children from a previous marriage, it is absolutely vital that you have a valid will or revocable living trust in place if you want your current spouse to inherit your property.
Guardianship
Avoiding guardianship is one of the goals of estate planning. Avoiding guardianship is even a priority with the courts. As of 2015, a judge is required by state law to inquire as to whether an incapacitated person has signed documents in their estate plan that will allow a person’s loved ones to take care of the incapacitated person without a guardian having to be appointed. If you are incapacitated in some fashion, such as from an accident, stroke, or Alzheimer’s, you do not want your loved ones to have to be under court supervision to pay your bills, manage your assets, or make healthcare decisions for you.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney allows you to designate a person or persons to make decisions on your behalf. A durable power of attorney allows your agent to make financial and business decisions for you while you are incapacitated. A healthcare power of attorney allows your agent to make medical decisions when you cannot make them yourself.
Marital Agreements
Marital agreements addresses the rights and responsibilities of the married couple. People place a negative connotation on these agreements, but the contract can lay out an agreement for the best interests of your children, as well as protecting your business that you worked day and night to build.
