Core Documents
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, medical directives, and related instruments should work together—not as isolated forms.

A thoughtful estate plan brings your family, property, wishes, and responsibilities into one clear legal framework.
Request a ConsultationA Plan Built Around Your Life
Estate planning is more than preparing documents. It is the work of deciding who may act for you, how the people you love will be supported, and how your property should pass.
We help North Texas families organize those decisions into a coordinated plan designed around their circumstances and intentions.
Estate Planning for Every Stage of Life
Two Clear Pathways, One Standard of Care.
Some families need comprehensive, trust-based, or advanced planning to coordinate property, businesses, and multi-generational goals. Younger families with straightforward needs may be well served by a will-based plan that names guardians and puts incapacity documents in place.
For qualifying young and growing married couples, Alliston Family Essentials is a straightforward, attorney-guided estate planning option. Either way, you work directly with our attorney, and your plan can grow with you.

Planning may address children, guardians, blended families, beneficiaries, and the people you trust to carry out your wishes.
Property & Ownership
Real estate, business interests, accounts, and beneficiary designations require coordinated attention.

What an Estate Plan May Include
Last Will and Testament
Names decision-makers, directs how property passes, and may address guardianship for minor children.
Revocable Living Trust
Provides a structure for holding and managing property during life and directing it afterward.
Financial Power of Attorney
Allows a trusted person to handle financial and property matters if you are unable to act.
Medical Directives
Medical power of attorney, directive to physicians, and HIPAA authorizations for health decisions.
Deeds and Title Work
Real property may need to be titled or transferred so it works with the rest of the plan.
Beneficiary Coordination
Accounts and policies pass by designation, so they must be reviewed alongside your documents.
Common Questions
- Do I need a trust, or is a will enough?
- It depends on your property, family, and goals. Many Texas families are well served by a will-based plan; others benefit from a trust for continuity, privacy, or controlled distributions. We review both with you before recommending a direction.
- How long does the planning process take?
- Most plans move from the first consultation through signing over a few weeks, depending on how quickly information is gathered and how many decisions need discussion.
- How often should a plan be reviewed?
- A review is appropriate after marriage, divorce, births, deaths, significant property changes, business changes, or a move to another state.
