Estate Planning Lawyers in the Rio Grande Valley
Every family is unique, and every family has unique estate planning needs. For some individuals, a simple will and an advance health care directive may suffice to protect assets and guide future health care decisions. Other individuals and families may wish to take advantage of a complete estate planning process — to provide for the care of minor children, to distribute assets across generations, and to minimize estate taxes.
No matter your specific estate planning needs, you want a clear and comprehensive plan — whether simple or complex — for the distribution of your assets upon death. You want an attorney who fully understands the different estate planning tools available to you and who will help you identify all your options, so that you make informed decisions that protect yourself and your family.
If you have been named executor, administrator or personal representative of the estate of a family member or friend, you want a lawyer who understands the probate process and who will help you successfully settle the estate.

We offer estate planning services at competitive rates, and we offer our clients access to experienced attorneys who are dedicated to providing clear advice and intelligent solutions.

Our Estate Planning Practice
In our estate planning practice, we work closely with south Texas families of all sizes, whether you are a permanent resident or only spend your winters here. You may know precisely what kind of estate planning device you need, or you may know only that the time has come to develop a comprehensive estate plan.
We pride ourselves on crafting strong wills and trusts that address the unique concerns of each individual with whom we work. Working with accountants and other tax advisors, we craft individualized estate planning solutions to achieve your estate planning objectives and minimize estate taxes.
Once you have determined the approach that best fits your needs, we will prepare and implement the documents necessary to put your estate plan in place:
- Wills to provide for the distribution of assets upon death
- Advance health care directives to provide for your own health care if you are incapacitated
- Trusts, which are often used to minimize estate taxes, provide for future generations of beneficiaries, make gifts to charitable organizations and provide for children with special medical or other needs
- Family businesses or charitable organizations, in order to minimize estate tax liability and exert future control over family assets
- Deeds to re-title family assets
- Marital partitioning agreements, to protect family assets against creditor claims
- Guardianship and conservatorship agreements and petitions, to provide care for children and elderly or incapacitated family members
Our Probate Practice
If you have been designated as the executor, administrator, conservator or personal representative of an estate, we can help you meet the requirements of the probate court and successfully settle the estate. We will help you prepare and file documents required to complete the probate process and will act as your advocate in proceedings with the probate court. Our attorneys will help you prepare and submit an accounting of the assets of the estate, work with you to pay the final debts and taxes of the estate, and oversee the orderly distribution of assets in accordance with the terms of a will or the intestate succession laws.
