How much does estate planning cost in Texas?

Most Texas families invest between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the complexity of their plan. Legacy Parents Law uses flat-fee pricing — no hourly billing, no surprise fees. Your exact cost is discussed during your free planning session.

What is a Kids Protection Plan?

A Kids Protection Plan ensures your children are never placed with strangers — even temporarily — if something happens to you. It names legal guardians in a way that's immediately accessible (not buried in a will), provides emergency instructions for babysitters, and gives your chosen guardians immediate legal authority.

Do I need an estate plan if I'm young and healthy?

Yes. Estate planning isn't about age or health — it's about protecting the people you love. If you have children, a home, retirement accounts, or opinions about your medical care, you need a plan. Without one, Texas law decides everything for your family.

The Challenges Business Owners Face

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

The Business = Your Net Worth

For many business owners, 80%+ of their wealth is tied up in their company. If something happens to you, your family doesn't just lose you — they lose access to that wealth, potentially for years.

The Sudden Exit Nightmare

If you're incapacitated or die, who runs the business tomorrow? Who signs the checks? Who handles payroll? Without a continuity plan, your business could collapse within weeks.

The Valuation Fight

Partners, heirs, and the IRS will all have different opinions on what your business is worth. Without proper documentation, expensive litigation and fire-sale prices often follow.

The Family vs. Business Collision

Should your spouse run the business? Your kids? What if they're not capable? What if some kids are involved and others aren't? Business succession and family harmony often conflict.

How We Protect Business Owners

Specialized solutions for YOUR situation.

Business Succession Planning

Document who takes over, how decisions get made, and what happens to ownership. Key person plans, management succession, and ownership transfer — all mapped out.

Buy-Sell Agreements

If you have partners, a buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance ensures clean ownership transitions. Your partner buys out your share; your family gets cash. Everyone wins.

Asset Protection Strategies

Separate business assets from personal assets. Protect your family if the business faces lawsuits. Structure entities properly. Shield what you've built.

Key Employee Retention

Your key employees might leave if you're gone. Retention agreements, deferred compensation, and golden handcuffs keep your team intact during transitions.

Questions Business Owners Ask

I'm a solopreneur with no employees. Do I still need business succession planning?

Yes. Someone needs authority to access accounts, close contracts, notify clients, and wind down or sell operations. Without documentation, your family faces bureaucratic nightmares during a tragedy.

My business isn't worth that much — maybe $500K. Is this still relevant?

Absolutely. $500K is your family's financial future. Proper planning protects that value. Improper planning (or no planning) could mean your family sees a fraction of it.

I have business partners. How does estate planning work with partnership agreements?

They must coordinate. Your estate plan and your operating/partnership agreement should not conflict. We review both and ensure buy-sell provisions are properly funded and documented.

Should my spouse inherit my business interest?

It depends on whether they want to (or can) run it. Often, it's better for your spouse to receive the VALUE of your interest (via buyout or sale) rather than operational control. We help you think through this.
