Frequently Asked Questions

What Does an Estate Planning Lawyer in Arlington Do?

Estate planning lawyers in Arlington facilitate the drafting and implementation of estate plans. This includes creating wills, trusts, and other legal documents to manage and distribute an individual's assets after death. Additionally, they help minimize estate taxes, manage healthcare directives, and establish guardianships.

This forward-thinking approach helps prevent potential issues before they arise, safeguarding your legacy.

What Happens If I Pass Away Without a Will in Arlington?

If you die intestate (without a will) in Arlington, Texas’ intestacy laws dictate how your assets will be distributed. Typically, these assets will be allocated among surviving relatives according to a predefined hierarchy. This process can be lengthy and may not align with your personal wishes. Our lawyers help clients create comprehensive estate plans to avoid these complications, ensuring assets are distributed according to their desires.

Without a will, the court becomes involved in determining the division of your estate, which can lead to family disputes and additional expenses. Creating a will with Crain & Wooley not only offers peace of mind that your assets will pass to loved ones in accordance with your wishes, but it also minimizes the emotional and financial toll on your family during a difficult time.

Satisfied Clients Tell Their Stories

  • "Thank you and God Bless you"

    Thank you for being my Living Trust and other Estate documents attorney. Due to our move and storage of business and personal documents, we had trouble locating & we took a lot longer to respond to your drafts, etc. You were very patient with me and my needing lots of explaining of legal terms and meanings. At my age, I was concerned about getting things done but wanting it all done right. You were very prompt in responding to my questions and I think by time of signing I felt confident we had things just the way we wanted to protect my heirs. Thank you and God Bless you.

  • "Smooth and easy"
    Learning about trusts at the meal was easy and educational. The set down at the office was where the finer points of trusts was explained. That is where and when we decided to make it safe and easy for our heirs. Our final meeting where we signed everything and an explanation of each item was given went smooth and easy. All in all I would say the investment in the trust was worth it.
    Thank you to Crain & Wooley office and staff

    We went to seminar to just find out what we needed to do for a will, They gave us all the info we needed right then there. Offered a really good price if we signed up to get one that day. A few weeks later after our appointment we have a Living trust. They were helpful with all our questions and were very thorough with these explaining the whole process.
