We can help you determine the best type of trust to include in your estate plan.
Types of Trusts
We proudly serve clients across Plano and the surrounding areas, offering a variety of trusts to meet diverse planning goals. Our experienced attorneys can help you establish or administer the following types of trusts:

Why Include a Trust in Your Estate Plan?
Clients in Plano turn to us for expert guidance on trusts because they offer numerous benefits, including:
- Avoid In-State and Out-of-State Probate: Unlike wills, trusts offer portability. For individuals with real estate across multiple states, a trust enables beneficiaries to circumvent probate procedures in each state where the property is situated.
- Prepare for Nursing Home Expenses: With the average monthly cost of nursing home care in Texas exceeding $6,000, planning is crucial. We help senior clients establish irrevocable trusts to protect their assets from being depleted by these expenses.
- Protect a Loved One with Special Needs: A special needs trust ensures that your loved one continues to receive public assistance in Texas without jeopardizing their eligibility due to income requirements.
- Safeguard Assets from Heirs: Some heirs may struggle with harmful behaviors. We assist clients in creating trusts with specific instructions to protect both their assets and loved ones who may take financial risks.
- Provide for Minor Children or Grandchildren: Trusts can secure a minor’s inheritance until they are mature enough to manage it responsibly.
- Avoid Estate Taxes: Creating a trust can help prevent the government from taking more than its fair share of your estate through taxes.

"Thank you and God Bless you"
Thank you for being my Living Trust and other Estate documents attorney. Due to our move and storage of business and personal documents, we had trouble locating & we took a lot longer to respond to your drafts, etc. You were very patient with me and my needing lots of explaining of legal terms and meanings. At my age, I was concerned about getting things done but wanting it all done right. You were very prompt in responding to my questions and I think by time of signing I felt confident we had things just the way we wanted to protect my heirs. Thank you and God Bless you.

"Smooth and easy"
Learning about trusts at the meal was easy and educational. The set down at the office was where the finer points of trusts was explained. That is where and when we decided to make it safe and easy for our heirs. Our final meeting where we signed everything and an explanation of each item was given went smooth and easy. All in all I would say the investment in the trust was worth it.

"Excellent, Highly recommend"
We went to seminar to just find out what we needed to do for a will, They gave us all the info we needed right then there. Offered a really good price if we signed up to get one that day. A few weeks later after our appointment we have a Living trust. They were helpful with all our questions and were very thorough with these explaining the whole process. They stuck with the price that we paid + let us call anytime if we had any questions. Excellent, Highly recommend this company.
