— Texas Estate Planning Education

Avoid probate. Keep your family's affairs private.

A Will goes through probate court — open to the public, subject to delays. A Living Trust does not. We start with the facts so you can decide what's right for your family.

/ Will vs. Living Trust

Two documents. Very different outcomes.

A Will names your wishes — but a court still has to verify them. That process is public and can take months. A Living Trust is already verified while you're alive, so your family handles your affairs directly.

There's also privacy. A Will becomes public record the moment it enters probate. A Trust does not. That difference matters more than most families realize until it's too late to change.

• Three Specific Protections

What a Living Trust actually does for your family

Avoid Probate & Court Delays

Maintain Privacy

Incapacity Planning

Unlike a Will, a Living Trust never enters public record. Your family's assets, beneficiaries, and distribution instructions stay between the people you choose.

A Living Trust names a successor trustee who can manage your affairs if you become incapacitated — without a court-appointed conservatorship process.

Assets held in a Living Trust pass directly to your named beneficiaries — no court involvement, no waiting period, no probate filing fees.
