Katy Estate Planning Attorney

You’ve worked hard and lived well, but what happens next?

People are reluctant to discuss this topic because of the implication of death. Few people know that proper estate planning also accounts for wishes during life. A medical power of attorney, for example, is a document that would be useful if you become incapacitated. Rest assured that we keep our clients’ best interests in mind throughout the process.
