Whether you need a straightforward will or trust to ensure your wishes are carried out at death, techniques to ensure proper management of your affairs in the event of incapacity, or a complex estate plan to help your heirs avoid estate taxes when you pass, the attorneys at Hopper Mikeska, PLLC, will give you intelligent and practical recommendations and assistance in implementing the estate planning tools and techniques necessary to accomplish your goals and preserve your wealth.
In our estate planning practice, we understand that each of our clients is placing a great deal of trust in us to advise them on some of the most important decisions they will make in life, and we take this responsibility very seriously. We make it a priority to continually educate ourselves about developments and changes in trust, estate, and estate tax laws, while efficiently responding to our clients’ needs. As a result, our clients are confident that they are receiving expert advice about all of their options from attorneys who truly understand the applicable law, and the best means of applying it to their particular situation.
We tailor estate plans specific to our clients’ needs so they feel secure about the future and avoid the pitfalls that can occur without proper planning. We prepare the appropriate estate planning documents for each client’s situation, including wills, trusts, guardianship designations, durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, directives to physicians, and, if necessary, premarital agreements, post-marital agreements, federal estate and gift tax returns, and asset protection vehicles such as family limited partnerships or limited liability companies. If you have an existing estate plan created in Texas or elsewhere, we are happy to review it with you to make sure that it addresses your current goals, family dynamics, and financial situation, and to ensure that it works under the current state of the law to preserve your wealth to the greatest extent possible.
