We Will Draft Your Will for a $500 Flat Fee

The most common misconception about estate planning is “We don’t have enough to do a will.” To start with, if you die without a will, the state of Texas has decided how your property and assets will be distributed. Often the state’s distribution plan creates rather than avoids conflicts. The most common example is the surviving spouse may have to share ownership of the family home with the children and stepchildren.

When a middle class Texan considers the family home, life insurance policies, retirement accounts, cars and boats there is generally much more value than we think about in our daily lives. By establishing a will, you will be able to create an equitable property distribution of that property that reflects your love and concern for your family.

Attorney Steve Howen offers will drafting services as part of our firm's comprehensive Family Lifeguard Plan. The Family Lifeguard Plan costs $500 per individual or family and includes a complete line of estate planning documents. We know writing your will is something you have on your "to do" list.

What is in a will?

A will provides important directives regarding various aspects of your life. A will directs how your property and assets will be divided among your heirs. If your children are too young to inherit or you want safeguards to protect your children as they mature, a will can establish restrictions to make sure your property is used wisely. Your will also includes directions for your wishes regarding guardianship, and allows you to appoint a person as your medical power of attorney. A properly drafted will can also ensure a seamless probate process for your heirs. A will is an important estate planning tool; it can have a significant impact on your family.

Steve works closely with our clients, welcomes any and all questions and can provide you the assurance you need to know that your will meets your goals. Contact us today to get started. We serve people throughout North Dallas, Richardson, Plano and the surrounding areas.
