FAQs
Do I really need a Houston estate plan if I don't have many assets?
Yes. Texas estate planning is about far more than wealth. A properly drafted will designates who receives your belongings, names guardians for your minor children, and keeps your family out of Harris County probate court entirely.
Without one, Texas state law makes every decision, and it may have nothing to do with what you actually wanted.
What is the difference between a will and a revocable living trust in Texas?
A will goes through the Texas probate process after you pass, which takes time, costs money, and becomes public record.
A revocable living trust in Houston avoids probate entirely, stays completely private, and includes trust administration to manage your assets during your lifetime as well.
Both are legitimate Texas estate planning tools, and the right one depends entirely on your goals, your family, and the complexity of your estate.
How much does a Houston estate plan actually cost?
A simple will with powers of attorney and an advance healthcare directive typically ranges from $500 to $1,500.
A comprehensive Texas estate plan that includes a revocable living trust runs $1,500 to $5,000, depending on complexity.
That cost is minimal compared to what the Harris County probate court and unresolved family conflict can cost without one in place.
When should I update my estate plan?
Every 3 to 5 years or after any major life event, including marriage, divorce, a new child, a significant change in assets, or a move.
Texas estate planning laws also evolve, and what was airtight five years ago may need a review today.
J. Davis offers ongoing support to make sure your plan always reflects your current life and wishes.
