Why Houston Families Need Estate Planning
Estate Planning in Houston
Houston's booming economy means more families than ever are building wealth — but only 33% have an estate plan in place.
Harris County probate courts are among the busiest in Texas, with average wait times of 8-14 months for uncontested cases.
Houston's diversity means complex family structures — blended families, international families, multi-generational households — all need thoughtful estate planning.
Texas's community property laws affect every married Houston couple differently. A generic plan won't cut it.
Why Virtual Works for Houston
Even though we're based in Houston, most of our Houston clients prefer virtual meetings. Between I-10 traffic, the 610 Loop, and Houston's legendary sprawl, a Zoom call beats a 45-minute drive. You get the same face-to-face experience without fighting the Katy Freeway.
Houston families are building legacies every day — from the Energy Corridor to the Medical Center, from Memorial Park to Clear Lake. Whether you're a young family in the Heights or established in River Oaks, your kids deserve the same level of protection.

Common questions from Houston families about virtual estate planning.
Do I need to come to your Houston office?
Nope! While we're based in the Houston area, all of our meetings are conducted via secure video conferencing. You'll never need to fight Houston traffic for an appointment. We work around YOUR schedule — including evenings and Saturdays.
Do you handle Harris County probate cases?
Yes. While our primary focus is proactive estate planning (helping families AVOID probate), we also guide families through the Harris County probate process when needed. Our goal is always to create plans that keep your family out of probate court entirely.
I live in a Houston suburb (Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands). Can you help?
Absolutely. We serve families throughout the entire Greater Houston metropolitan area — from Galveston to Conroe, from Katy to Baytown. Our virtual model means your location doesn't matter at all.
