Estate Planning Attorney in the College Station, Bryan, and Caldwell, TX Area

Special circumstances in estate planning may include tax planning for retirement benefit transfers; special needs beneficiaries; methods to provide for beneficiaries that may have substance abuse issues or mental health issues; or other circumstances that need special attention, such as blended families or inter-generational estate planning matters. 

Knowing The Laws

Estate planning encompasses a wide range of law, including: 

  • Income and Estate Tax: Your estate will be taxed depending on actions you can take now. A professional can help you navigate the process to make the process as easy for your descendants as possible.
  • Marital Property Law: Depending on any states and agreements involved, spouses are entitled to certain pieces of property upon the death of their spouse. 
  • Oil and Gas Law: If you have oil and gas assets, it's increasingly important to make your estate plans accordingly to protect your wealth. 
  • Corporate and Partnership Law: If you are part of a business or corporate partnership, you'll need to arrange your estate to protect your business partner in the event of your death.
  • Real Estate Law: Real estate can count outside the realm of marital property or other inheritance law. Making specific provisions for your real estate holdings can help your assets pass to your intended descendants. 
  • Contract Law: Estate law can be governed by contracts; your lawyer can help you make sure that all of your assets are held safely. 
  • And many other areas of the law
