Estate planning is a lot more complex and encompasses more areas than many people realize. While the process does include writing a last will and testament, it also considers other issues, such as establishing trusts, creating documents for advanced medical directives, and asset protection. Making end-of-life decisions isn’t an easy topic to think about, but it is a necessary one.

The attorneys at Ruelas Andino Law, PLLC are sensitive to these matters. We understand how difficult it can be to think about death or incapacitation, but we also know how completing planning can provide you with peace of mind. In situations where a family member passes away without having done any estate planning, this will involve a longer probate process. Our attorneys will work hard so family members going through the probate process have as painless an experience as possible.

Texas Will

Writing a last will and testament benefits both you and the loved ones you’ll eventually leave behind. When you work with Ruelas Andino Law, PLLC, our attorneys will help you get your personal and financial matters in order, along with any other documentation you want to ensure all of your final wishes will be made known to your loved ones. Once you write a will, you can rest easy that your assets will be distributed as you choose and not decided by a Texas court. Most people like having this peace of mind, knowing their directives will be made known in the event of their death.

Texas Probate

When an individual passes away with a will, it needs to go through probate to be validated. In most cases, this is a simple process. Dying without a will is much more complicated. In the event a loved one dies without having done any estate planning, it can create stress for the grieving family members left behind. This form of probate is often a lengthy process and has the potential to lead to familial conflict on top of all the other emotions those left behind are currently working through. If you’ve recently lost someone you care about who didn’t leave behind any directives, the caring and compassionate lawyers at Ruelas Andino Law, PLLC can help.

Texas Trusts

People often decide to set up trusts as a useful estate planning tool, since they don’t need to go through the traditional probate process. Ruelas Andino Law, PLLC is thoroughly versed in Texas law and has experience setting up the various types of trusts allowed, including revocable and irrevocable trusts. If you are thinking about or ready to set up either short-term or long-term trusts to ensure your money and other assets can legally go to specific loved ones or other parties, our attorneys can help. We’ll sit down with you and work to determine the terms you want to include in your trusts and how you want them to be administered.

Texas Asset Protection

An important component of estate planning is to consider asset protection. If you possess wealth, including but not limited to business, property, and other sizable and/or valuable assets, you probably want to consider an asset protection strategy. In Texas, there are a number of ways you can approach this, and Ruelas Andino Law, PLLC can present you with your available options and then provide personalized service to help you develop the best asset protection strategy for your situation.
