Frequently Asked Questions

Does a trust avoid probate in Texas?
When properly funded, a revocable trust allows assets titled in the trust to pass outside probate.


Do I really need a trust, or is a will enough?

For many families, a will alone means probate. A properly funded revocable trust can help avoid probate, provide privacy, and create a smoother transition for your family. During your consultation, we determine which structure is appropriate for your situation.


What is the difference between a trust and a will in Texas?

A will directs how assets are distributed after probate. A trust allows assets titled in the trust to pass outside probate and provides more control and continuity. For business owners and families with multiple assets, trust planning is often more efficient.


I already have a will. Do I still need a trust?

Possibly. Many clients come to us with outdated or incomplete documents. A trust-based plan may better align with your current assets, business interests, or family structure.


Can you help coordinate my LLC or business interests?

Yes. When appropriate, membership interests in LLCs or closely held businesses can be assigned to your trust as part of coordinated planning.


How much time will I need to invest in this process?

Most clients spend 45–60 minutes in the initial consultation and then attend one signing appointment. We guide you through the rest.


Is estate planning only for older individuals?

No. Estate planning is about control and clarity, not age. Business owners and professionals often benefit from planning well before retirement.


What happens to my business if I die unexpectedly?

Without a structured plan, your ownership interest may be tied up in probate. A trust-centered plan can provide continuity and clearer transition.


Is the $5,500 fee all-inclusive?

Yes. Comprehensive trust planning is provided on a flat-fee basis. More complex structures may vary depending on asset structure or business coordination.


Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. Consultations are available virtually or in person at our San Antonio office.


Do you work with clients outside central San Antonio?
Yes. We serve clients throughout San Antonio and surrounding areas including Castle Hills, Shavano Park, Olmos Park, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, The Dominion, Leon Springs, Fair Oaks, Boerne and Helotes. Consultations are available virtually or in person. 


How soon can we get started?

Most clients are scheduled within a few days. If we are a good fit, drafting begins immediately after engagement.
