Estate Planning

Plans that Empower You and Your Family

Proper estate planning allows you to take control of your life by protecting not only your property upon death, but your loved ones as well. If you die intestate (without making a Will), you do not get to choose who will receive your probate assets. The state government decides for you, and each state’s laws are different. In Texas, if you die intestate, the persons who inherit from you depend upon whether you are married or single, whether you have children, and other factors. It also may depend upon the nature of your property.

Located in Dallas, Texas, our firm will keep you fully informed so that you can confidently make all the important decisions regarding your estate plan. We draft self-proving wills and trusts that can avoid the expense and time associated with probate. If you need a simple will or a complex estate plan, contact attorney Jo Bess Jackson to schedule a free initial consultation.

For over 15 years, Ms. Jackson has assisted Texas families in creating estate plans which meet their goals and protect their estate property and hard earned assets. We understand the importance of family, and your desire to protect them after you are gone.
