Wills and Estate Planning

Wills and Estate Planning

Houston Estate Planning Attorneys

While many people intend to place all assets in trusts to avoid probate, the fact is that some assets are nearly always going to fall outside of a trust for one reason or another. At Kerr & Hendershot, P.C., we advise all our clients to update their wills every few years ­— or every time there is a change in family structure or assets.

Wills, Trusts, Living Wills, Family Limited Partnerships

Contact a lawyer at Kerr & Hendershot, P.C. in Houston to schedule a consultation regarding drafting your will or preparing an estate plan. Members of the firm are highly skilled in the preparation of complex wills, trusts and other estate structures, such as family limited partnerships, inter vivos trusts, family management trusts, durable power of attorney, medical directives and the designation and appointment of guardians. Ask us about "living wills" and other aspects of estate planning that might be better termed "life planning." Discuss ways to incorporate Medicaid planning into a comprehensive estate plan.

Business Succession Planning

Our business law attorneys understand the complexities that are involved when a person preparing a will is a partner or shareholder in a business. We are also very familiar with various, sometimes delicate issues related to step relatives, in-laws, estranged family members and other family matters that may affect the provisions of the will.

Estate Planning Services Tailored to Individual Needs

Our attorneys' experience in structuring complex estate plans and asset protection vehicles allow us to advise our clients and tailor the estate structure to each individual client's needs.

Contact us regarding wills, trusts, business succession plans, family limited partnerships, probate or any other legal issue pertaining to life planning and end-of-life planning.
