Divorce
Guardianship
Dying Without a Will is Expensive: Dying without a Will can lead to a costly administration, paying unnecessary taxes, and costly court supervised guardianships of minor children. First, Dependent Administration is a court supervised default procedure and is perhaps the most costly of any type of probate proceeding available. Court approval is required for everything. The procedure begins with the appointment of an Administrator by a local court. The Court, selects this Administrator from a list of persons provided by Texas law. The Administrator could be a family member or one of your creditors. Once an Administrator is appointed, he will locate all of property of your estate and manage it during the period of administration. Regardless of whether the Administrator is a family member or creditor, the person selected by the Court may not be a person that you would have selected to handle your estate, and he is normally allowed to charge your estate a fee for his services. After receiving claims and paying debts, taxes, administration costs, and his fee, the Administrator will distribute whatever property is remaining according to Texas law. Add a taxable estate and minor children to this scenario, and guardianships make it even more costly.

Property Damage
You Left Plenty for Your Wife and Child; Your Wife had an Automobile Accident: Your wife had $3,000,000 in assets. The family home was too large, and she always felt that money was tight. Feeling the need, she sold the home to raise cash, but only for her perceived family needs. Additionally, in her frugal nature, she sent a fax to your insurance agent requesting minimum insurance coverage limits on the family car. Later, she had a terrible automobile accident where two children were killed and their father received substantial and permanent injuries. The Mother and Father sued for the wrongful death of their children and Father’s personal injuries. Insurance Company defended Wife vigorously; however, the jury awarded $3,055,000 to the Mother and Father. Insurance Company paid the minimum coverage amount of $40,000 for the personal injuries and $15,000 for property damage and explained in a letter to Wife that this amount represented their obligation under the insurance contract. This leaves Wife owing a judgment of $3,000,000! Because Wife has no equity in the homestead, she only has her exempt personal property to the extent of $30,000. The $3,000,000 that Wife had is in cash, brokerage accounts, and other non-exempt assets subject to collection by Mother and Father. Mother and Father abstracted the judgment and have obtained the proper court papers to collect their judgment. When they are finished, Wife and Children will have virtually nothing.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
The Firm was founded by Mr. Overton after more than 15 years of service with a major oil and gas company. The Firm started with an estate planning and probate practice, and now provides legal services in a variety of practice areas. Ultimately, the Firm plans to use its legal and business expertise to build a full service practice in the southern United States. In the course of building this full service practice, everyone at the firm is committed to continuous improvement and providing clients with quality, thorough, and competent advice.
Wills
The loss of a family member or close friend brings a great sense of loss and can create conflict among parties interested in the estate. Often family members, heirs, creditors, and other third parties, such as friends, make demands for the same property. As these claims lead to disputes and result in lawsuits, or Will Contests, family members may be forced to defend themselves.
Trusts
Documents prepared in this area might include the basic documents with special provisions that create a Bypass Trust or Credit Shelter Trust, an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, and others from the Basic and Complex planning areas.
