Rio Grande Valley Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts Attorney
Estate planning isn’t just for those nearing retirement. If you live in the Rio Grande Valley and have assets, family, or specific wishes for your care or legacy, now is the time to put a plan in place. At Texas Estate Plans, we help you create a personalized legal framework to protect what matters—your family, your property, and your voice—both now and in the future.
What’s Included in Your Estate
Your estate includes everything you own:
- Real estate and land
- Bank accounts and savings
- Vehicles
- Life insurance policies
- Investment and retirement accounts
- Valuables and personal property
An estate plan ensures that these assets are protected, your intentions are legally documented, and your loved ones avoid unnecessary court involvement during difficult times.

We’ll help you create or update documents like wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and powers of attorney—all designed to help your family avoid probate, reduce legal stress, and keep control over your legacy.
Child Guardian Planning
One of the most urgent reasons for estate planning is to ensure your children are cared for in the way you would want. Our Child Guardian Plan gives parents in the Rio Grande Valley a clear, legally enforceable strategy to safeguard their children if the unexpected occurs.
Consider this reality: if an unforeseen tragedy struck you and your spouse tomorrow, who would step in to raise your children? While it’s not easy to contemplate such possibilities, establishing a thoughtful Child Guardian Plan today provides the security and clarity your family needs during what would already be an incredibly difficult time.
At Texas Estate Plans, our approach to estate planning offers a framework for creating a strong Child Guardian Plan. Your Child Guardian Plan includes:
- Guardian Selection – Choose the right person to raise your children.
- Backup Guardians – List alternates in case your primary choice can’t serve.
- Short-Term Guardians – Plan for immediate care in emergency situations.
- Emergency Contact List – Identify trusted contacts who can act quickly.
- Education & Healthcare Wishes – Share your preferences for raising your children.
- Cultural or Religious Guidelines – Include values important to your family.
- hildren’s Trust – Ensure financial support is protected and well-managed.
- Plan Updates – Adjust your plan as your family or circumstances change.
This kind of planning offers security, reduces confusion, and ensures your children are raised by people you trust, not chosen by a court.
