Estate Planning

Estate planning is the process of preparing for the distribution of one's assets, financial security, and personal dignity in the event of incapacitation or death. In Texas, it is essential to have the following five estate planning documents:

• LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: A will is a legal document that directs how your property will be distributed when you die, and can create trusts for the benefit of your spouse or children. A will also allows you to name a person you trust to oversee the management and distribution of your assets and appoint a guardian to care for your minor children.

• DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY: A durable power of attorney gives you the power to appoint a trusted family member or friend as an agent to manage your finances if you are no longer capable of managing them yourself, such as if you become temporarily or permanently incapacitated.

• MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY: A medical power of attorney is a document that allows you to designate a trusted family member or friend to make medical decisions for you in the event you become unconscious or mentally incapable of making those decisions for yourself.

• HIPPA AUTHORIZATION: HIPAA authorization is a document that allows you to name an individual who can have access to your medical information, so that your health care provider or insurance company have no reservations about sharing medical information with those whom you have authorized.

• DIRECTIVE TO PHYSICIANS: A living will, or directive to physicians, is a document that allows you to instruct your physicians not to use artificial methods to extend your life in the event you are diagnosed with a terminal or irreversible condition.

There are also other documents that may be needed in Texas, such as a REVOCABLE TRUST, which can be used to avoid probate, a DECLAREATION OF GUARDIANSHIP IN THE EVENT OF INCAPACITY, which is designed to prevent a probate court from appointing an institutional guardian in the event of later incapacity.
