Trusts

Trusts

The Texas probate process is much better than many other states, so a will usually does the job, however trusts also help determine how you’d like specific types of property to be distributed and handled. Although we normally do not recommend stand-alone trusts, there are times when they might be helpful:

When you have real property (houses, land) outside of Texas

When you already have a trust or are a beneficiary of a trust

When a beneficiary has special needs or receives government benefits

When you need confidentiality of your assets after your death
