Every adult should have a professionally drafted will in place. A will plays a crucial part in letting everyone—including a probate court—know your last wishes. While a will can be useful for property distribution, it is also important to write a will even if do not actually have many assets. Doing so can save your loved ones a tremendous amount of stress and frustration in the future. We know that no one wants to leave their loved ones in a complicated or confusing situation. estate planning lawyers will help you create a will that is tailored precisely to meet your unique needs.

Trusts
A will can be used to divide and distribute assets/property. However, in some circumstances, it is not the most effective estate planning option. You may be better off using a trust to provide assets and property for your children, grandchildren, and other beneficiaries. There are a lot of myths about trust. A lot of people believe that trusts only work for the rich. However, quite the contrary: trusts are a useful and effective estate planning option for many middle-income families in Texas. Some of the advantages of trusts include:
- Efficiency;
- Privacy; and
- Flexibility.
Our estate planning attorneys can help you and your family determine if setting up a trust is the best available options. Trust planning should always be handled on a case-by-case basis. We will take the time to listen to your story, understand your situation and your objectives, and carefully explain the benefits and drawbacks of every available estate planning tool, including trusts.
Powers Of Attorney
Estate planning is about more than transferring property and assets. Your estate plan should provide protection to you in the unfortunate event that you are unable to manage your own legal, financial, or medical affairs. Regardless of your age and health status, it is recommended that you set up powers of attorney. From our San Antonio office, our estate planning lawyers, who serve the citizens of New Braunfels, are here to explain how powers of attorney work, what the limitations are, and help you create powers of attorney that will protect you and your family.
Special Needs
If you have a child or loved one with special needs, they should be carefully considered as part of your estate plan. It is imperative that you speak to a qualified estate planning lawyer before leaving a special needs individual money or property.
Under federal regulations, important public programs, including Medicaid and Social Security, are subject to means-testing. As such, leaving a special needs individual a direct gift could result in them losing their eligibility for much-needed services.

All throughout the death of my father after setting up a plan for both of my parents, he continually provided advice and answered every question and concern I had throughout this whole process. Dealt with Mr Weisinger primarily and it was a very good experience. Only charged me when he needed to get directly involved in a particular situation. All questions and advice given were answered fairly quickly and with no charge. I appreciated his help and advice during a fairly stressful time for me and my mother.
