Houston Trusts And Estate Planning Attorney
Texas law recognizes various trusts, each with unique rules for validity and enforcement. Without precise drafting, your intentions risk misinterpretation – or worse, legal challenges.
Law Thompson, P.C. helps Houston families create trusts tailored to their goals. Led by Travis Thompson, a Texas board-certified attorney with over 30 years of experience, we help ensure your assets align with state laws. Serving Harris and Montgomery counties, we turn complexity into confidence.
What Is A Trust, And How Does It Work?
A trust lets you designate how assets are managed during your lifetime and distributed upon death and involves these three key parties:
- Grantor: The person who establishes the trust and places assets within it.
- Trustee: The person or organization that handles the trust’s assets, following the creator’s directives.
- Beneficiaries: The individuals or groups that receive benefits from the trust.
Unlike a will, which takes effect after you pass away, a trust can be used to manage your assets during your lifetime and provide seamless distribution after your death, often avoiding the time-consuming and costly probate process.
Types Of Trusts We Draft
Trusts adapt to your needs. Common options include:
- Revocable trusts: Changeable terms during your lifetime
- Irrevocable trusts: Shield assets from creditors or reduce taxes
- Special needs trusts: Protect eligibility for government benefits
- Charitable trusts: Support causes while gaining tax advantages
Texas requires specific language and trustee appointments. Generic templates often miss critical details. We draft documents that hold up under scrutiny.
