Wills
The foundational document of any estate plan, directing your property, naming guardians for minor children, and designating an independent executor.
01 · Austin, Texas
Estate planning, careful as the work itself.
A solo Austin practice focused on the documents that direct your wishes, wills, trusts, probate, and the careful drafting that protects what your family has built.
Approach
One careful firm. One careful plan.
Estate planning is one of the most important things you will ever do for your family. The decisions you make today have lasting consequences for generations. That is why every plan begins with a careful conversation, your family, your assets, your values, before any document is drafted.
This is a solo practice, by design. Every plan is personally drafted, reviewed, and signed off by Patricia. Initial consultations are free, in person at the Austin office, by phone, or by video.
Practice areas
Six practices, one careful purpose.
The practice is limited to estate planning, probate, and trust administration. No personal injury. No divorce. No criminal. The narrowed focus is the depth.
Revocable Trusts
A flexible vehicle that lets you keep control during your lifetime, plans for incapacity, and avoids probate at death.
Powers of Attorney
Statutory and customized durable powers for financial matters, medical decisions, HIPAA authorizations, and physician directives.
Probate
Independent and dependent administration, muniment of title, small estate affidavits, and determinations of heirship in Texas courts.
Trust Administration
Counseling trustees on fiduciary duties, accountings, distributions, terminations, and modifications to existing trusts.
Special Needs
First-party and third-party special needs trusts, ABLE accounts, and the planning that preserves government benefits.
