Areas of Practice

Wills & Estate Planning

A will provides for the distribution of your property at the time of your death. If you pass away without a will, Texas intestacy laws will determine who receives your property. Broadly speaking, these laws represent the legislature’s best guess as to how you would have liked to distribute your property. This fact underscores the importance of having a will in place. Whether it is creating your own will, designating Powers’ of Attorney, or establishing a trust for a loved one, call The Schwartz Law Firm, PLLC to set up a consultation to discuss the options that best suit your needs.

Probate & Estate Administration

Dealing with the death of a loved one presents a multitude of challenges. One of the challenges that family members often face is how to deal with the property of the loved one. Was a will left which sets out how the loved one wanted their property handled? Or, did your loved one not leave a will? Your answers to these questions will certainly impact how the loved one’s property will be handled. Call the Schwartz Law Firm, PLLC to schedule a free consultation to discuss the best course of action to handle these challenges.

Guardianship

A guardianship is a formal, legal process where a court appoints and monitors someone, called a Guardian, to make decisions for a person, called a ward, who does not have the capacity to make decisions. When a person is unable to provide food, clothing, or shelter, or to care for his or her own physical health, and to manage his or her own financial affairs due to a mental or physical condition, he or she may be found to be without capacity, or “incapacitated.” The purpose of guardianship is to protect persons from abuse, neglect, including self-neglect, and exploitation, and to provide for their care and the appropriate management of their property. Call the Schwartz Law Firm, PLLC and schedule a free consultation to discuss whether a guardianship is an option to be considered in caring for your loved one.
