Houston, Texas Estate Planning

     
 

Estate Planning documents ensure that your assets pass in accordance with your wishes.  If you want privacy, own an out-of-state property, or hope to avoid probate, you may consider a living trust.  If your estate is large, you may need a family limited partnership or gifting plan to benefit from the annual gift tax exclusion.

Wright Abshire can help you ensure that your lifetime of hard work and careful planning will benefit you during your lifetime and your loved ones after your death. Estate planning in Houston and throughout the state produces positive results upon disability or death and failing to plan can cause unnecessary problems, delays, taxes, and other expenses.

  Wills and Trusts
     
 
Your peace of mind is the goal when we work together to plan your estate. Peace of mind means obtaining legal instruments designed to distribute your property according to your wishes with the least possible taxes, expenses and delay that can be achieved in your circumstances. Here are some of the Texas estate planning tools we use:
 
  Simple Wills
     
 
A typical disposition of a moderately sized estate can usually be handled with a simple will. Even a person with a small estate can benefit greatly from having a will.
 
  Complex Wills
     
 
If your Houston estate planning needs include tax planning, or if you have particular circumstances to be addressed, we can draft a will that is right for you, including, as appropriate, bypass trusts, disclaimer trusts, contingent trusts and special needs trusts. Additionally, your estate, if large enough, may justify the need for family limited partnerships, life insurance trusts or a regular gifting plan to take advantage of the annual gift tax exclusion.

 

 
  Living Trusts
     
 
The living trust can be a valuable Medicaid estate planning tool for a client in an appropriate situation.
