Our Estate Planning Services in Texas

Having a comprehensive plan in place ensures more than your assets and properties are protected, but it also provides safety and peace of mind for your family and loved ones. Your estate plan can also outline how you would like to be cared for if you are unable to care for yourself, so no detail is left to chance going forward.

While estate planning may seem daunting, the process does not have to be overwhelming.

At Stepp Law PLLC we assist members of the community from all walks of life with all aspects of estate planning. Whether you are interested in drafting a Will, establishing a trust, or creating a healthcare directive before major surgery, our estate planning attorneys can help.

What Does Estate Planning Involve?

Estate Planning is the legal process of organizing your property for transition after your death or during a period of incapacity.

These legally binding documents are created to arrange the management and disposal of your estate, so your family is not tasked with sorting through the details on their own.

Estate plans are unique and should be handled by experienced Houston estate planning attorneys who can give you and your family the confidence you need to put your future in perspective.

Building a Future for Your Children with an Estate Plan

Outlining your children’s futures means facing the reality that you are not always going to physically be there for them. It is a difficult realization, and one many do not care to ponder for long. We understand.

While there are many family issues to consider when putting together an estate plan, it can provide exceptional peace of mind knowing that you have it all under control with the help of our experienced Houston estate planning attorneys.

We have been helping families when planning for their children’s futures and will work closely with you to provide all the options necessary to protect your assets for your kids while establishing the guidelines that will allow them to take advantage of your planning.

We Have a Blended Family: Can Stepp Law PLLC Help Us Plan For Everyone?

When spouses are on their second or third marriages, their financial holdings and future plans become increasingly complicated.

When couples have blended families, with children from previous marriages, our estate planning lawyers can build estate plans by drafting prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and marital property agreements. In no way are we suggesting that you and your family are planning for divorce.

It is about protecting everyone in your blended family.

What If My Children Are Still Minors When I Am Gone?

In the State of Texas, there are specific guidelines that must be followed to leave assets to minor children under the age of 18.

Creating a will or trust depending on the circumstances allows you to protect your assets until your children are of age to make informed decisions about their use by retaining the flexibility of when your children are allowed access to your estate.

Protection For Your Entire Family

It is important to understand that you do not have to have expansive wealth to build an estate plan. Ensuring you have a last will and testament protects the surviving spouse with an asset protection trust that we can design in several different ways and ensure the future beneficiaries so that their inheritance goes where you intended it to go.

Protecting your family begins with having instructions in place that allow your wishes to be known, to avoid future family disputes. Your family is important. And planning for their future allows them to know how loved they are.

Our Houston estate planning attorneys can help you weigh all your options and determine the best solutions for your unique situation, so you can face the future with confidence knowing you have done everything you can to protect the most important people in your life.

At Stepp Law PLLC, our Houston estate planning lawyer has assisted single entrepreneurial clients with significant assets, owners of small family-owned businesses bring the next generation into the business, executives in major corporations, seniors, parents, and many others with their unique estate planning needs, and we want the same for you.
