Estate Planning Law Firm Dallas | Texas Will & Trusts Lawyers Coppell South Lake Park Cities Frisco TX
In the simplest of terms, estate planning is the process through which a person plans the transfer of his assets at death, and prevents the court from gaining jurisdiction over his affairs.
While a Last Will and Testament is a primary building block, a well conceived estate plan goes beyond directing what you want to happen to your real property, business and investments. Important estate planning tools utilize measures to minimize death taxes and administrative fees, address the care and education of minor children, as well as the handling of financial matters, and health care treatment in the event you became incapacitated.
Laying out the components of an estate plan designed to achieve your goals are frequently complicated, depending on the size of your estate and your wishes. A primary concern for large estates is tax reduction and preserving wealth to pass on to heirs and benefit charitable organizations.
To learn about the variety of legal options available to you, which may include charitable foundations or trusts, gifting or setting up a limited liability company, consulting an estate planning attorney is essential. An attorney who specializes in trusts and estates can provide legal advice and guidance, and assist you in devising a plan that complies with Texas State laws and protects your best interests.
