Directive to Physician
Also known as an Advanced Directive, this legal document states whether you would like life-saving treatment in certain cases, which can include scenarios like life support after brain function has ceased.
HIPAA Release
This legal document lets you designate who should have access to your medical records, and we often create this document alongside a Medical Power of Attorney for most clients.
Revocable Transfer On Death Deed
The Transfer on Death Deed a new legal document named in the Texas Estates Code that lets a person or married couple name who will inherit their property upon their death, and it allows the property to pass directly without costly probate.
Declaration of a Guardian
Similar to a Power of Attorney, a declaration of a guardian names the people that you would like to act as your agent on behalf of you and/or your estate if you are incapacitated.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney names a person who will act on your behalf legally, and it can take effect immediately or our estate attorneys can name the circumstances that make this document active, like losing consciousness.
Medical Power of Attorney
Similar to a Power of Attorney, a Medical Power of Attorney names who you would want to make medical decisions for you and can limit their decisions to those you’ve pre-approved.
Appointment for the Disposition of Remains
Often, families can disagree about what happens to the remains of their loved ones, and an appointment for the disposition of remains names the person who has the final say in what happens to your body.

Avoid Probate and Reduce Costs for Your Loved Ones
The cost of probating an estate with no will is much higher than the cost of making a will. Probate is what happens when a loved one passes away without a will in place. Our estate planning attorneys are skilled at building cost effective wills that transfer your assets quickly.
