Estate planning and elder law practice areas in Waco
Six kinds of work, one file per family — and the same attorney from the first meeting to the last signature.
Where to start
Most families arrive with one of two problems
Either nothing has happened yet and you want a plan — a will, powers of attorney, maybe a trust — or something has already happened: a parent cannot sign, a nursing home is asking about Medicaid, or someone has died and the will has to be admitted to probate. The pages below are organized the same way our files are.
If you are not sure which one describes your situation, call (254) 457-5083 and describe it in your own words. Reception will route you to the attorney who handles that work, and we will tell you what the next step costs before you commit to it.
The six areas we handle
-
Estate Planning Lawyers in Waco
The full plan, not just the will: guardians for young children, retirement considerations, and family trusts that carry wealth across generations without an argument.
-
Last Will and Testament Lawyers in Waco
A will drafted to stand up in the Texas probate system, so your family is not guessing at your wishes or paying to litigate them.
-
Power of Attorney Lawyers in Waco
Financial and medical authority, put in trusted hands before it is needed — the document that decides who signs when you cannot.
-
Guardianship Lawyers in Waco
Court-supervised authority over a person or an estate, for incapacitated adults and minors, argued in the McLennan County probate courts.
-
Miller Trust Lawyer in Waco, Texas
The qualified income trust that lets a Texas applicant whose income runs above the Medicaid limit still qualify for the care they need.
-
Probate Attorneys in Waco
Administering an estate after a death — proving the will, gathering the assets, paying what is owed and closing the file properly.
Who handles it
The same five attorneys across all six areas
This is a small firm on purpose. Estate planning, elder law, guardianship and probate overlap constantly, and the attorney who drafted the trust is the right person to defend it later.
