Estate Planning | Serving The Woodlands, TX
Houston Estate Planning Law Firm
Many legal matters are concerned with the future. A business contract creates a relationship between individuals or entities and governs their relationship. An estate plan memorializes the goals and wishes of an individual with the will, trusts, and other instruments that will control the disposition of that person’s property upon his passing, the management of the property upon incapacity and death, and provide for their loved ones’ future financial security and even guardians for minors. The practice of tax law is concerned with minimizing and reducing the impact of various federal, state, and local taxes that affect individuals and their businesses and planning transactions in a tax efficient manner.
