Dedicated Civil Representation
1. Elder Law & Asset Protection
Long-term care costs should not deplete a lifetime of hard work. Utilizing specialized tools such as Lady Bird Deeds, qualified income trusts, and proactive asset shielding strategies, we protect your homestead and family land from Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) claims while ensuring access to necessary care.
Focus: Homestead MERP protection, Medicaid eligibility, long-term care crisis planning, and special needs trusts.
2. Estate Planning & Probate Administration
Estate planning is not a one-size-fits-all form. We design comprehensive roadmaps that transfer assets directly and privately to the next generation through deeds and beneficiary designations, while utilizing well-crafted Texas Wills for independent probate administration, specific bequests, and testamentary trusts.
Focus: Wills, Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Directives, Independent Probate, and Testamentary Trusts.
3. Rural Real Estate & Land Law
Acreage transactions in Central Texas require rigorous diligence that standard subdivision forms fail to address. We advise landowners, buyers, and agricultural operators on complex title issues, prescriptive easements, fence-line discrepancies, and mineral estate protections.
Focus: Farm and ranch purchases, access easements, boundary disputes, partition deeds, and agricultural tax valuations.
4. Civil Litigation & Dispute Resolution
When business agreements break down or property conflicts arise, effective resolutions are negotiated from a position of trial readiness. Backed by 35 years of courtroom practice, we provide steady, calculated advocacy that protects your financial interests in and out of court.
Focus: Breach of contract, boundary and title conflicts, commercial disputes, and heir property partitions.
