Careful Preparation Of Your Will

How We Can Help
Why Do You Need A Will?
Many people make the mistake of thinking that their spouses and children will automatically inherit assets and property upon death. Yes, even without a will, the Texas probate courts will probably transfer your property to your immediate family after an expensive and unnecessary probate process. But having an updated will in place gives you control over more than just money and property. In a will, you can name a guardian for a minor-aged child. You can also determine how much and under what conditions money should be distributed to particular heirs or your favorite charity or religious organization.
When do you need a will?
Whether you are young or elderly, it is never too early or too late to draft or update your will. Give us the opportunity to review your current circumstances and let us show you how your family will benefit.

Posted on Randy GrosenbachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful knowledgeable concering someone going into a Nursing home needing medicaid approval. They came highly recommended and now so will we highly recommend them.Posted on Rick LewellynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Livens & Reed to create a Supplemental Needs Trust for our adult special needs daughter, to ensure her financial needs were met but also done in a way to not disqualify her for Texas Medicaid benefits she currently receives. Shawn Crawford was excellent, along with Caleigh and Angie: very thorough, explaining every aspect and legalese in layman's terms, in a timely manner and what we thought was a very reasonable fee. We also consulted with Chad Reed on our aging parent's needs and what steps we might follow to have them qualify for Medicaid, when the time and need arises. Very friendly, spent all the time we needed with us during our free consultation. Highly recommend this law firm for anyone considering Trusts, Medicaid qualifications, and elder care. Thank you Livens & Reed!Posted on The Killian GroupTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic law firm for all your needs.
