Comprehensive Estate Planning: Wills and Powers of Attorney in Texas

Estate planning is more than just preparing for the inevitable—it’s about protecting your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are honored. At Law Offices of Jesus R Lopez, we offer expert guidance on drafting wills, creating powers of attorney, and other essential legal documents that protect your future.

Why Do You Need a Will in Texas?

A will is a critical part of any estate plan. It outlines how your assets—such as property, savings, and personal belongings—will be distributed after your passing. Without a will, Texas law determines how your estate is divided, which may not reflect your wishes.

Key Reasons to Have a Will:

• Designate how your property and assets will be distributed.
• Appoint guardians for minor children.
• Minimize the potential for disputes among family members.
• Simplify the probate process for your loved ones.

Our attorneys work closely with you to ensure your will accurately reflects your wishes, providing peace of mind for you and security for your family.

Powers of Attorney in Texas: Securing Your Affairs

In addition to a will, it’s important to consider powers of attorney, which grant someone the legal authority to act on your behalf in certain matters.

• Durable Power of Attorney: This allows someone to manage your financial and legal matters if you become incapacitated.
• Medical Power of Attorney: This gives a trusted person the authority to make healthcare decisions on your behalf.

Both of these documents ensure that your interests are protected, even if you are unable to make decisions for yourself.

Living Wills and Healthcare Directives

We also assist with drafting living wills and advance healthcare directives, which outline your preferences for medical treatment in case you become unable to communicate your wishes.
