Estate Administration

Probate and estate administration can be an emotional and difficult process for family members. If the deceased family member has properly prepared and executed estate planning documents, the probate process is fairly smooth because it avoids the necessity of will contests or determination of heirs. At Christiansen Law Firm, we have extensive experience in managing the estate administration process efficiently and as quickly as possible. Please contact the estate administration lawyers at Christiansen Law Firm for a free initial consultation.

Wills and Trusts

Wills and trusts are an important part of any estate plan. We will make sure that these sensitive documents are carefully prepared so that your interests and wishes are protected. Please contact the wills and trusts attorneys at Christiansen Law Firm in Houston and Lufkin for additional information about preparing your estate plan.

Powers of Attorney and Advanced Medical Directives

Proper estate planning involves much more than distribution of assets upon death. Clients should carefully consider a power of attorney for health care, a statutory durable power of attorney, and a directive to physicians. These documents are crucial to ensuring that your wishes are respected during your lifetime, and they assist family members in managing the business affairs and medical issues of a loved one. Please contact the attorneys at Christiansen Law Firm for a free consultation.

Guardianships

Guardianship provides for the care of children or for adults who are no longer capable of managing their affairs independently. Texas law provides for guardianship of a person and for guardianship of an estate. The surviving parent of a minor child automatically becomes the guardian of the child, without the need for a guardianship proceeding, but he or she does not automatically become the guardian of the child's estate. Because a guardian has significant legal powers, it is important to obtain legal advice regarding the ramifications of guardianship. Please contact the Houston and Lufkin guardianship attorneys at Christiansen Law Firm to schedule a free consultation.
