Do you know what would happen to those you love, your property, and the other things you care about if something unexpected happened to you? If you don't have a plan (or what you have is out of date) your assets could be lost or wasted in court as your loved ones are left to deal with your affairs. And, if you have young children, they could be placed with someone you would never choose. Worse, when you don't plan, your wishes are not even considered by the Court.
If you are not clear on what it would look like if something unexpected occurs, then the first step is to find out exactly what would happen legally and financially, so that you can decide whether you are are okay with it.
At the Pinney Law Firm, our Baytown estate planning lawyer works with you directly in a planning session to help you get clear about where you are, and whether your current situation is acceptable for you and your family. We charge a reduced fee for this time, which is credited to any work you decide is needed as a result of your session.
Prior to the session you will complete an inventory and assessment which helps to get clear on what you own and what you have to think about regarding your loved ones and belongings. At your session, you decide whether your current state of affairs is acceptable. If not—and we both decide that it's a fit to work together—we can design a plan that best suits your needs.
Today it’s more important than ever to have an in-depth plan that handles more than just who gets your property.
