Estate Planning for Texas Families and Business Owners
At the Colleyville law firm of Brooks P. Lynn, Attorney at Law, we advise individuals and families about basic wills, powers of attorney, and family business succession planning. We also help people concerned about the declining ability of their elderly parents to take care of themselves and avoid exploitation. For comprehensive estate planning advice in Tarrant County, contact our office for the information you need.
We can help you with such basic estate planning tools as the following:
- Last will and testament for transferring assets after death, expressing preferences as to funeral arrangements, or appointing a conservator for minor children
- Durable financial and medical powers of attorney to designate trusted persons to make decisions and handle matters for you if you become incapacitated
- Advance directive to physicians in order to define the circumstances under which you would want life support to be terminated in a critical or terminal medical situation
Each of these instruments will save your family from a great deal of confusion and potential conflict if an accident or illness renders you unable to manage your own financial and health care affairs.
We also advise clients about retirement and disability planning to find suitable alternatives to nursing home care for elderly parents or in your own later years, management succession planning for family businesses ranging from farming to construction or high tech, and estate tax planning for families who need to reduce the size of their estates through such instruments as living trusts, irrevocable family trusts, charitable remainder trusts, or other asset transfer alternatives.
Because our clients vary a great deal in terms of their current situations and objectives, affluence, and potential barriers to security for themselves or their loved ones, we tailor all of our estate planning solutions to your family's specific needs. We work closely with you to make sure that the strategies we suggest are the best available for your circumstances. We also keep an eye on developments in the law and tax policy so that the estate plan you may have developed several years ago won't be undone by an act of Congress.
