Fabens, TX Estate Planning Lawyer
Don’t Put Off Planning For The Future – Tomorrow Is Never Guaranteed! At Villegas Law Firm, We Can Give The Legal Tools That Can Give You Peace Of Mind.
An estate plan is a collection of legal tools (like a will, trust, advance directive, power of attorney, and others) that direct how your hard-earned wealth should be managed, protected, and eventually distributed when you pass away someday.
The vast majority of Americans realize that they need some form of an estate plan, but most people don’t have one because they think that there will be plenty of time for “that legal stuff” later on. The sad reality for many families, though, is that someone runs out of time, and the family is left with a total mess to clean up on top of their grief.
Don’t wait until it’s too late – don’t let that be your legacy!

- Preserve your assets, your legacy, and your values

Estate Planning – A Tool For Life And Death
Estate planning isn’t just for your death, although it is incredibly important in that aspect. If you pass away without an estate plan in place, your family may not know (or agree on) what your final wishes were – what you wanted your funeral to be like, where you wanted to happen to your body, what you wanted to happen to your favorite possessions, which of your beneficiaries should inherit what, etc. They may end up fighting amongst themselves and may even end up in court, and sometimes the state will have the say over the final call. It’s an unfortunately common story that a death in the family can lead to estranged or strained relationships for generations when estate plans didn’t exist!
However, working with our Fabens estate planning lawyer can also prove to be incredibly helpful to you and your loved ones during your lifetime in a myriad of ways.
For one thing, if you suffer from an illness, or are injured, or are medically incapacitated in some way – an unforeseen circumstance with your health occurs – then an estate planning tool such as a physician’s directive (living will) or a power of attorney can help your loved ones and medical team know how to take care of you and your affairs until you recover.
For another, if you experience other unexpected life events – a divorce, bankruptcy, needing to enter a nursing home – there are many types of trusts that can protect your assets from being seized by other people, your creditors, and/or the government.
