Creating a Plan for Your Estate in TX

Many people are under the mistaken impression that estate planning is for the rich. Even if you don’t have valuable property or expensive possessions to pass on, it is still important for your loved ones to know your wishes. A lack of an estate plan may impact your family, and your property and possessions may not be passed to your intended beneficiaries.

There are many benefits of having an estate plan, such as:

1. Ensuring that your property goes to your intended beneficiaries
2. Keeping certain assets in the family
3. Providing for the care and well-being of minor children
4. Naming a personal representative for your estate
5. Avoiding the expensive and time-consuming probate process
6. Reducing your family’s tax burden
