Estate Planning Services
An estate plan usually includes several types of documents that work together to protect your wishes. Rather than jumping between law firms for each estate planning tool you need, let us handle everything. That way, you can be confident that your estate plan will feel consistent and organized from the beginning.
People most often come to our Celina estate planning lawyers to get help with:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Probate and estate administration
For each of these services, the goals are simplicity and efficiency. The process usually begins with a conversation about your priorities and the people you want to care for or protect. From there, our attorneys can recommend the right mix of documents and explain how each one works together as part of a complete plan.
Documents are drafted clearly, so you understand exactly what they intend to accomplish. Questions are encouraged at every step, and updates can be made whenever your circumstances change. This structured, thoughtful approach keeps the process organized and helps you feel confident in the final result.
Because we handle both estate planning and probate matters, families in Celina also have a trusted resource to turn to later if they ever need assistance carrying out a loved one’s wishes.
Who Should Consider Getting an Estate Plan?
Estate planning is useful for far more people than many expect. It’s not limited to retirees or people with significant wealth. In reality, most adults can benefit from having basic protections put in place by an estate plan.
Any time you want a say in what happens to your property or who makes decisions for you when you can’t speak for yourself or after you pass away, an estate plan becomes important. It’s about direction and preparation, not just finances.
You may want an estate plan if you:
- Own a home, farmland, business, or other real property
- Have children or dependents
- Want to name someone to handle financial or medical decisions if needed
- Wish to make the transfer of assets easier for your family
- Have specific wishes about how property should be divided
Local Considerations for Estate Planning in Celina
Celina continues to grow quickly, with new neighborhoods, expanding businesses, and many families putting down long-term roots. As property values increase and households accumulate assets like homes, land, and retirement accounts, estate plans may need to address more than just a basic will. Because Celina spans both Collin County and Denton County, probate procedures and court locations can differ depending on where property is located, which makes clear documentation and the representation of experienced attorneys especially helpful.
Local families in Celina may want to think about:
- How real estate or farmland will be transferred
- Planning for children or multigenerational households
- Coordinating assets located in different counties
- Naming guardians for minor children
- Providing clear instructions to avoid unnecessary court delays
Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Estate Planning
1. Do I need both a will and a trust?
Not everyone needs both. A will works well for many families, while trusts can offer additional control or privacy in certain situations. The right combination depends on your goals and assets, which we can help you review.
2. How often should I review my estate plan?
It’s a good idea to review your plan every few years or after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or purchasing property.
3. What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?
If you pass away without an estate plan, especially a will, state law decides how your property is distributed. That process may take longer and might not match your personal wishes. Having a plan will outline your instructions and make it easier for your loved ones to follow them.
