Estate Planning Essentials
Planning for the future is essential to ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected. At Tuck McClimon, PLLC, we provide comprehensive estate planning services tailored to meet your unique needs. Here’s how we help you establish a solid foundation for your legacy:
Last Will And Testament
A will is the cornerstone of any estate plan, directing how your assets will be distributed after your passing. Without one, the State of Texas imposes its own formula, leading to potential complications, added expenses, and uncertainty for your loved ones. Our firm prepares wills that:
- Specify beneficiaries and the distribution of assets.
- Appoint guardians for minor children or disabled adult dependents.
- Designate a trusted executor to manage your estate.
Powers Of Attorney
Life is unpredictable, and a power of attorney ensures that someone you trust can make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Our documents empower your appointed agent to:
- Handle personal and financial affairs, including managing accounts, paying bills, and making major financial decisions.
- Include special provisions for Medicaid planning, such as asset gifting to heirs.
We often recommend a durable power of attorney effective immediately, avoiding delays or disputes about when “disability” begins.
Living Will (Advance Directive)
A living will communicates your preferences for life support and end-of-life care, providing clarity to healthcare providers and peace of mind for your family. Unlike many firms, we take an in-depth approach, addressing:
- Four specific medical scenarios and 13 medical procedures.
- Provisions for ongoing pain management, ensuring compassionate care throughout.
HIPAA Authorization
A HIPAA release grants designated individuals access to your medical records and updates about your condition, enabling informed decisions and coordination of care when it matters most.
Funeral Directives And Guardianship
Our estate planning includes documents to guide funeral arrangements and appoint guardians for yourself or minor children, ensuring every aspect of your future is thoughtfully addressed.
Advanced Trust Planning
For those with complex needs, we offer guidance on sophisticated trusts to:
- Minimize probate and estate taxes.
- Secure financial stability for a disabled child or other dependents.
