Securing the future for yourself, your family and your business can bring peace of mind today, and save you time, money and hassles later.

Sound Estate Planning Strategies

Careful estate planning can allow you and future generations to enjoy the benefits of your hard work. Contact us online, or call our office at 713-568-1397 to discuss your estate planning concerns. Our lawyers provide these personal legal services structured to meet the needs of the business owner:

• Establish a reciprocal buy/sell arrangement between business partners to avoid disputes and other complications upon retirement or death
• Take advantage of 303 stock redemptions, 6166 estate tax deferrals and family-owned business exclusions
• Sell a business at the time of death or retirement
• Gift or sell a business to another family member while maintaining income for retirement
• Ensure smooth transfer of a family business from one generation to another

We help clients establish the true value of their assets, especially proper business valuation related to any agreements and to accurately estimate estate taxes.

Avoiding Probate Complications

Without a last will and testament in place, probate can become complicated, time consuming and expensive to resolve. Our Texas wills, trusts and probate attorney will work with you to determine the best options for avoiding probate. We can also explain how a living trust can be used to effectively transfer a family business, avoid probate fees and create potentially significant tax savings.

We work closely with our clients to help them understand and determine which estate planning options work best to meet their future personal and business objectives. Our attorneys will help clients build a customized wealth preservation strategy to avoid potential litigation and probate issues.
