Local Considerations for Families in McKinney & Collin County

Estate planning is never one-size-fits-all, and local factors can sometimes shape what makes sense for your family. McKinney and the surrounding areas of Collin County have grown rapidly over the past decade, with many families owning homes, small businesses, rental properties, or blended family assets. As property values rise, estates that once seemed modest can become more complex to manage and transfer.

Many residents also have community roots, multigenerational households, or children who may move out of state for school or work. That means your plan may need to account for out-of-state heirs, property transfers, or clear instructions for managing family homes and investments. Thoughtful planning now can help your loved ones avoid delays, disputes, and unnecessary court involvement later.

How We Help You Create or Update Your Estate Plan

The estate planning process usually starts with a conversation with our team. The goal is to understand what matters most to you and your family, as well as your priorities and the legacy you want to leave behind. Once we know as much, we can start to recommend any documents or strategies that could become part of your estate plan.

The typical processes we follow when working on an estate plan include:

• Discussing your goals and concerns
• Reviewing your assets, family structure, and long-term plans
• Recommending the right combination of wills, trusts, and directives
• Drafting and finalizing legally sound documents
• Updating plans over time as life changes

Once your estate plan is in place, we think you’ll have confidence knowing your wishes are documented, and your family has clear instructions to follow. And if circumstances change, such as marriage, divorce, a new child, or property purchases, the plan can be revised to stay current. Just dial (940) 293-2313 whenever you need us again.

Estate Planning Isn’t Just for the Wealthy or Elderly

A common misconception is that estate planning is only for retirees or people with significant wealth. In reality, nearly every adult can benefit from having at least a basic plan in place.

Estate planning is about control and clarity, not just money. It allows you to decide who makes decisions for you when you can’t make them yourself, who receives your property, and how your loved ones are supported after you’re gone.

You may benefit from an estate plan if you:

• Own a home, business, or other property
• Have children or dependents
• Want to avoid probate delays for your family
• Wish to name someone to make medical or financial decisions if needed
• Simply want peace of mind about the future

Even a simple will and power of attorney can make a meaningful difference for your family later, so we recommend that you at least talk to us about your options. We can tell you more, and we would never pressure you to include anything in your estate plan that you didn’t want.
