Estate Planning

San Antonio, Texas, Estate Planning Lawyer

Everyone can benefit from an estate plan — especially a business owner. Besides controlling the disposition of assets, it can reflect the values, morals, and beliefs an individual maintained during life.

At The Law Office of Patrick Reed, I assist individuals, families, and business owners in developing an estate plan specific to their unique needs and goals. Call 210.403.0904 or contact me online for more information.

Personalized Estate Plans

Estate planning is different for each individual and family. At The Law Offices of Patrick Reed, I will develop a plan that is based on your unique needs and objectives using the following planning instruments:

• Wills
• Living wills
• Living trusts
• Life insurance trusts
• Powers of attorney
• Marital property agreements — Including premarital agreements, post-marital separate property agreements, and agreements to convert separate property to community property
• Family limited partnerships and limited liability companies

Wills vs. Trusts

I will explain the benefits of both a will and a trust, and help you decide which is best for you:

• A will is probated and becomes part of the public records in the county in which it is probated.
• A living trust, if properly executed and maintained, avoids the need for probate and gives you added privacy.

Additionally, I can develop an estate plan that utilizes other tools to give you added privacy regarding the ownership of your assets while you are alive and upon your passing. I have extensive experience carefully handling both simple and complex estates and effectively preparing estate plans.
