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.

More kids, more activities, more stuff. Your estate plan from 5 years ago doesn't know about any of it.

The Challenges Growing Families Face

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

The Outdated Plan

You did the responsible thing years ago — got a will, maybe even a trust. But since then: another kid, a new house, job changes, and that brother you named as executor got divorced. Your plan is a time capsule.

The Busy Parent Trap

Between soccer, dance, homework, and work... estate planning keeps falling to 'someday.' But your kids don't stop growing while you procrastinate.

The Age Gap Problem

A 15-year-old and a 5-year-old have very different needs. A cookie-cutter plan treats them the same. What works for one doesn't work for the other.

The Equity Question

How do you divide things fairly between kids? Equal isn't always fair. One might need education funds, another might need special support. This needs to be planned.

How We Protect Growing Families

Specialized solutions for YOUR situation.

Comprehensive Family Review

We audit your existing plan (or lack thereof) against your current life. Kids, assets, guardians, beneficiaries — we check everything and update what's stale.

Age-Appropriate Trusts

Distributions that match maturity: 18-year-old gets education funds, 25-year-old gets home down payment access, 30-year-old gets full inheritance. You set the rules.

Updated Guardian Cascade

Your sister was the perfect choice when you had one toddler. Is she still right for three active kids? We build a guardian lineup that makes sense NOW.

Annual Review Program

Life changes. So should your plan. Our Legacy Parents Law families get annual check-ins to catch changes before they become problems.

Questions Growing Families Ask

Our will is 7 years old but nothing major changed. Do we really need to update?

Probably yes. Tax laws changed, your kids are older (different guardian needs), assets likely grew, and named people may have new circumstances. A quick review confirms whether it still works.

We have kids ages 16, 12, and 6. How do we handle the age gaps?

Staggered distributions are key. The 16-year-old gets access sooner but not everything at once. We can customize timing for each child based on maturity, education, and special needs.

How often should we update our plan?

Formally, every 3-5 years. Informally, whenever something big happens: new child, new home, divorce in the family, significant asset changes, health issues. Our annual review catches most of this.

Can we name different guardians for different kids?

Yes, though it's usually not recommended (siblings should stay together). But if you have a much older teen and young children, different arrangements can make sense. We'll talk through what's best for YOUR family.
