FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you charge for consultations?

    Most estate planning and elder law consultations are free. If you only need a document review or second opinion, a modest review fee may apply — and we’ll explain that upfront before scheduling.

  • Do you offer flat fees or hourly billing?

    We handle most estate planning matters on a flat-fee basis so you know the cost before we begin. In limited situations, when a case involves unusual complexity, hourly billing may be used and clearly discussed in advance.

  • Do I need an appointment to meet with you?

    Yes. All meetings — whether in Tyler, Atlanta, or virtual — are by appointment only to ensure you receive focused, uninterrupted attention.

  • Do I really need a will in Texas?

    Yes. Without a will, Texas intestacy laws determine who inherits your property, which may not reflect your wishes. A well-drafted will also makes probate easier for your loved ones.

  • How long does the estate planning process take?

    Most families complete their plan within a few weeks. Straightforward wills and powers of attorney often move even faster, depending on your needs.
