Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning

1. Do I really need an estate plan if I don’t have a large estate?
Estate planning is not just about wealth. It helps you decide who receives your property, who can make decisions for you, and how your family is supported. Even a simple will and powers of attorney can make a meaningful difference for your family later. For this reason, we recommend that almost everyone at least talk to an attorney about making an estate plan.

2. What happens if I pass away without a will?
If there is no will in place when you pass away, Texas law determines how your property is distributed through a process called intestate succession. The results may not match your preferences, and your family may face additional court involvement.

3. How often should I update my estate plan?
It’s recommended that you review your estate plan every few years or after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or the purchase of significant property.

4. What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs how assets are distributed after death and usually goes through probate. A trust can manage assets during your lifetime and after death, often providing more control and privacy. The right choice for your estate plan depends on your goals, assets, and other factors.

5. Can estate planning help if my family situation is complex?
Yes. Estate planning can address blended families, stepchildren, business ownership, and other unique circumstances. Clear documentation helps prevent misunderstandings and protects everyone involved.
