Wills and Trusts – Houston Estate Planning Attorney
At the David Flores Law Firm, we help Houston families plan ahead with wills and trusts that protect their loved ones and make life easier during difficult times.
When someone dies, their estate—everything they own, including land, houses, money, and personal property—must be passed on to others. If a person dies without a will, Texas law decides who gets their property based on family relationships, not personal wishes. This can cause delays, extra costs, and unwanted results.
Why You Need a Will
A Last Will and Testament gives you control over what happens to your property after you pass away.
A will lets you:
- Decide who gets your property
- Choose someone to manage your estate
- Name a guardian for your children
A will can also help reduce taxes, make probate easier, and even create a trust to protect and manage your assets.
What a Trust Can Do
A living trust lets a trustee manage property for the benefit of someone else, called a beneficiary.
Trusts are often used to:
- Manage money for children or those who need help
- Avoid probate and keep your affairs private
- Protect assets from creditors or wasteful spending
We can help you create a revocable living trust, irrevocable trust, or special needs trust, depending on your goals.
