Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts

Addison/Dallas Estate Planning, Wills and Trust Lawyer

From acquiring a home to planning a career and planning for retirement, opportunities and necessity prompt us to take steps to plan and prepare for our financial future. One step many people do not take, however, is the step to ensure minimum hardship for our families upon our death.

Ironically, this step is usually the easiest financial step to take. For an affordable fee, an experienced estate planning attorney can talk with you to discuss your wishes, and arrange for the full management of your assets in the event of your death or incapacitation.

The Law Office of Justin Wallace can handle your full estate planning and probate legal needs. In addition to drafting last will and testaments, important estate planning services we provide include:

• Creation of a living trust. Living trusts allow you to move the assets of your choice into the trust, which you own. When you pass away, ownership of the trust passes directly to your named heirs, completely bypassing the expense and delay of probate. We can also assist in moving out-of-state property into living trusts.
• Creation of a testamentary trust. These trusts control the assets of minor children and are useful for managing your assets if you pass away before your children are of age. A trusted friend or relative can be named as the conservator to manage assets and dispense funds to ensure the proper care of minor children. A guardianship arrangement can further allow you to determine your children's care by naming a guardian to care for your children.
• Creation of a living will. Living wills, also known as physician's directives, allow you to determine the extent and nature of the medical care you will receive in the event of catastrophic medical issues.
