What are your concerns?

If you are like the majority of our clients, you spend some time thinking about the "what ifs" of life. What if I pass away- who will take care of my children? What if I die without a will- does the state of Texas really decide how my property and assets are distributed?

Attorney Steve Howen developed the Family Lifeguard Plan with these questions and many more in mind. As a husband and father, Steve knows the importance of having an estate plan in place to address the tough questions in life. At $500 per individual or family, our Family Lifeguard Plan helps clients work through questions about minor guardianships, the distribution of property and assets, and medical decision making. We encourage you to contact our firm if you have questions about issues like:

• Selecting and naming the appropriate guardians for minor children
• Insuring minor children have funds for education should both parents die
• Creating an equitable property distribution that reflects love and concern for the family
• Clarifying preferences for medical treatment in end of life scenarios
• Favoring a church or charity with a gift

These issues can be addressed with the wills, powers of attorneys, living wills and other directives that all are a part of the Family Lifeguard Plan. Want to learn more? Contact us today.
