Texas decides.Who inherits. Who serves as executor. Who raises your children. The State has default answers — and they may not be yours.

We do one thing: wills, trusts, and probate. Scope and flat fees explained upfront, in plain language, before any drafting begins.

Why Plan Now

Without a plan, Texas decides.

When there is no plan, the State of Texas applies its default rules — and a court steps in to make decisions for your family.

  • ✕Texas intestacy law, not you, decides who inherits your property.
  • ✕A judge — not you — appoints the guardian for your minor children.
  • ✕Your family may face a longer, costlier, and public probate.
  • ✕Loved ones are left guessing about your wishes during a hard time.

Hear it from the families we've helped.

Estate planning is personal. Here is what clients say about working with us — in their own words.

I worked with Goodcatt & Associates to create a revocable living trust, and the entire process was smooth and well organized from start to finish. They explained everything clearly.
