An estate plan is one of the most important things you will ever create — and one of the most commonly put off. Without one, the State of Texas decides who gets your property, who raises your children, and who manages your affairs if you become incapacitated. Those decisions are too important to leave to default rules written for people the legislature has never met.
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. If you own a home, have a bank account, have children, or simply want a say in your own medical care, you need an estate plan. The consequences of not having one fall hardest on the people you love most — your spouse, your children, your partner — who will be left navigating the legal system during the most difficult time of their lives.
Katherine works with individuals and families at every stage of life to create comprehensive, personalized plans. She takes the time to understand your goals, your family dynamics, and your concerns — and she builds a plan that reflects your values, not a one-size-fits-all template.
No one plans to become incapacitated. No one expects a sudden accident. But these things happen — and when they do, the absence of a plan creates confusion, conflict, and expense for the people left behind. An estate plan is not a document you create for yourself. It is a gift to your family — the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what you wanted, exactly who you trusted, and exactly what to do next.
The best time to create an estate plan is before you need one. Katherine is here to help you get started.
