Wills, Trusts, and Estates

The firm’s wills, trusts, and estates practice helps our Texas Panhandle community—especially those with ranches, farms, and mineral estates that have been held for generations —build comprehensive plans that protect their legacy and provide peace of mind that your family has taken care of and protected for future generations.

We work with individuals, couples, new property owners, and multi-generational families to create practical and effective estate plans tailored to your circumstances. We also assist individuals and couples who have smaller estates by helping you draft a simple will or trust, or handling your family’s probate or other inheritance needs. 

We counsel clients through every phase of estate planning and administration, including:

  • Estate planning strategies for your family’s short-term goals to maintain your quality of life and direct where your assets will go after you are gone, and address your long-term goals to protect your family and your assets for years to come.

  • Drafting wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, and other testamentary trusts and instruments.

  • Preparing for your later years and providing medical powers of attorney, durable powers of attorney, living wills, and guardianship  appointment and planning

  • Probate, estate administration, assisting executors of estates, muniment of title, intestate succession, and guiding families if someone passed without a will.

  • Structuring the proper asset-holding arrangements tailored to your needs, including avoiding probate by putting your assets in trusts or other asset protection  vehicles, and better protecting your assets from liability and creditors.  

  • Gun trusts and other gun-related issues for clients to hold, transfer, and manage firearms with better protections in compliance with federal and state law.

At every step, we focus on clarity and communication so you and your loved ones feel confident about the future.
