Texas Family Estate Planning
Parents strive to set their children up for success for the rest of their lives. And though it can be painful to imagine, it’s imperative to consider what your children’s future would look like in your absence.
Creating an estate plan for your family can alleviate the stress when it comes to the what-ifs of the future and ensures that should anything happen to you, your family has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
A family estate plan:
Secures the care of your children by appointing a guardian
Ensures that the financial well-being of your child is taken care of by naming an executor for your estate, a trustee for your trust, and providing instructions for the distribution of your assets
Plans for injury, illness, or disability of both the parents and the children of a family by naming healthcare powers of attorney
At the law firm of Shann M. Chaudhry Esq., Attorney at Law PLLC, it’s our mission to support as many Texas families as possible. We believe that planning for the future is important for every family—regardless of financial status.
We might not be able to predict the future for our children, but we can prepare them for it. For every estate plan purchased, we will donate one to a family in need.

What is Estate Planning and Why Should I Do It?
Estate planning is often seen as something to do towards the end of your life, but it’s vital to consider it when you start a family. Estate planning does more than determine how your assets are distributed and medical decisions are made—it also articulates your wishes for the guardianship of your children and how they will be financially provided for.
The scary what-ifs of the future—like death or incapacitation—might seem far away but the future is unpredictable. Failing to prepare can result in the courts deciding what happens to your estate and your children.
Though estate planning involves dealing with weighty topics, it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the things that make your life meaningful, including family, legacy, and personal values.
Though estate planning involves dealing with weighty topics, it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the things that make your life meaningful, including family, legacy, and personal values.
Your estate plan allows you to:
- Select guardians for minor children, yourself, or your estate
- Provide for your children’s long-term financial future through trusts
- Divide and allocate your personal and business assets
- Designate medical and durable powers of attorney
- State your medical preferences legally and directly
Estate plans also allow for flexibility, and they can be updated as needed. We recommend that plans are updated annually and in the cases of significant life events such as career changes, marriage or remarriage, or the addition of new family members.
