A lot of people move from another state assuming their estate planning documents automatically work the exact same way everywhere. But probate laws can vary from state to state, and certain details may affect how a will is handled in Texas probate court.

If you own property, have children, or recently relocated to Texas, this is an important estate planning conversation to have.

A client recently came in after losing a parent. The intention was clear. The mother wanted her property to go to her child. The challenge was that there was no will in place.

Without that documentation, the process became more complicated, more time-consuming, and more costly than it needed to be. Jennifer was able to help guide the client through it, but situations like this are a reminder of how important it is to plan ahead.

A simple will can make a difficult time a little easier for your loved ones. If you have been thinking about getting one in place, Jennifer is here to help.
