Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of developing a comprehensive plan for how to distribute one's assets at the time of death. Estate planning can include using gifts during the donor's lifetime to reduce the taxable estate. The goals of effective estate planning services are to protect assets, preserve wealth, minimize tax exposure, and clearly define how a person's assets will be distributed at the time of their death.
Palmer & Manuel's attorneys help people with their estate planning needs through the drafting of comprehensive estate planning documents including wills, trusts, healthcare powers of attorney, and living wills. We also assist people during and after a divorce seeking to draft a newly executed will. The firm's estate planning practice places a strong focus on preserving wealth by minimizing tax exposure, including exposure to unnecessary estate taxes.
Probate
Probate is the process after death of dividing an estate with the supervision of a court. The goal of probate is the fast, efficient, and smooth transfer of estate assets in accordance with the wishes of the deceased.
Probate in Texas is often a fairly simple legal process with the assistance of an experienced probate attorney. When challenges do arise, the firm's attorneys quickly adapt to meet any challenge that presents itself. Probate is an emotional process for people, and our goal is to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
