Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in Texas
Texas asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Texas
Texas blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Business Succession Planning in Texas
Texas business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.
Charitable Trusts in Texas
Texas charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.
Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Texas
Texas digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.
Spouse's Elective Share in Texas
Texas elective share: Community property state — surviving spouse owns 1/2 of community.
Estate-Tax Planning in Texas
Texas estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Texas
Texas guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Probate Court / County Court at Law. Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.
Healthcare Directives in Texas
Texas healthcare directives: Directive to Physicians (Living Will) + Medical POA + Out-of-Hospital DNR.
Heirs' Property in Texas
Texas heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.
Intestate Succession in Texas: What Happens If You Die Without a Will
If you die in Texas without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. If all kids are joint, spouse takes ALL community property.
Living Trusts in Texas
A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates with real estate; out-of-state property; blended families. TX independent administration is efficient so simple TX-only estates often skip trusts. typically benefit most.
