The process of planning for the future can be challenging. Thinking about and discussing all of the possibilities can sometimes be overwhelming. With that said, the choices we make regarding estate planning can deeply impact the people we leave behind. Preparing a will is not only a legal process but an emotional and sensitive matter as well. Estate planning is an important course of action that outlines your final wishes. With proper planning, your family members can be protected from challenges that may otherwise emerge if you were to suddenly become ill or die without a secured plan in place. At McCathern, our estate planning practice is led by experienced of counsel attorney Matthew Gilpin, who works with clients throughout North Texas and beyond.

Every person’s family and circumstances are different. Often there are personal details, unique to each situation, which require a comprehensive and precise plan. These plans don’t need to be complicated or cause more frustration to your family members during an already difficult time. Estate plans are often created to make the necessary business easier for your family as well as save expense. In fact, in some cases the need for probate may be avoided entirely with thorough planning. Having a good estate plan can help ensure that your hard-earned assets are handled according to your wishes.
