Why LGBTQIA+

Estate Planning is Important

Estate planning isn’t just about distributing assets — it’s about ensuring your wishes are honored, and that your family is cared for in the way you intend. LGBTQIA+ individuals and families often face specific legal hurdles that can complicate the process of securing those wishes, particularly when it comes to things like inheritance, healthcare decisions, and guardianship. Without a clear estate plan, your loved ones may be left vulnerable to legal disputes, taxation issues, and delays in fulfilling your wishes.

Our LGBTQIA+

Estate Planning Services

We offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community, including:

• Wills & Trusts Protect your legacy by ensuring your property and assets are distributed according to your wishes. We help you design legally sound wills and trusts that take into account your relationships and family dynamics.
• Healthcare Directives & Powers of Attorney In the event of illness or incapacity, you should be able to make medical and financial decisions for yourself — and have the people you trust do so on your behalf if needed. Our firm drafts advanced healthcare directives and powers of attorney that ensure your healthcare and financial matters are handled according to your preferences.
• Guardianship Planning for Children If you have children, it’s essential to have a plan for their care and custody in the event of your death or incapacity. We help LGBTQIA+ parents designate guardians for their children and ensure that legal hurdles regarding parental rights are addressed.
• Tax Planning & Asset Protection Proper estate planning includes minimizing taxes and protecting your assets. We offer tax-efficient strategies for ensuring your estate is passed on to your beneficiaries with as little tax burden as possible.

Addressing the Specific

Needs of LGBTQIA+ Families

We recognize the importance of addressing the complex issues that affect LGBTQIA+ families, especially in Texas where legal protections may be limited, unclear or under attack. As your advocates, we ensure that your estate plan is fully tailored to the legal landscape that impacts you and your loved ones.

• Legal Recognition of Relationships For LGBTQIA+ couples, we provide guidance on the legal nuances of relationship recognition, including marriage, domestic partnerships, and civil unions. Whether or not your relationship is legally recognized, we work to ensure that your estate plan is valid and enforceable.
• Ensuring Rights for Non-Biological Parents Many LGBTQIA+ parents are non-biological or non-married partners raising children together. We help ensure that both parents’ rights are legally recognized, protecting your ability to make decisions for your children and pass on assets to them.
• Navigating Complex Family Dynamics For many LGBTQIA+ individuals, family dynamics may not always align with traditional structures. We are here to help navigate these complexities, whether it’s planning for a partner, biological children, or chosen family members, so that all your loved ones are properly provided for.
