Texas Estate Planning & Probate Administration

Preserving Wealth, Protecting Heirs & Guiding Probate under the Texas Estates Code

Estate planning and probate law in Texas provides individuals, families, executives, and business owners with the legal framework to organize their affairs, protect accrued assets, minimize tax exposure, and ensure smooth transfer of generational wealth. Governed by the Texas Estates Code, proper estate planning prevents family disputes and eliminates the delays and expenses of court-supervised intestate administration.

In Texas, a comprehensive estate plan extends beyond a simple last will. It integrates revocable living trusts to manage assets outside of probate, statutory durable financial powers of attorney to authorize trusted fiduciaries during incapacity, medical powers of attorney, living wills (directives to physicians), and HIPAA releases. When a loved one passes away, Texas probate law offers streamlined procedures—such as Independent Administration, Muniment of Title, and Small Estate Affidavits—which can be navigated efficiently with experienced probate counsel.

Key Legal Matters & Services in Estate Planning

Last Will & Testament Drafting

Formulating legally sound attested and holographic wills that appoint independent executors, name guardians for minor children, and dictate specific asset bequests.

Revocable Living Trusts & Asset Protection

Creating revocable and irrevocable trusts to ensure privacy, avoid public probate court records, protect beneficiaries with special needs, and shield generational assets.

Incapacity Planning & Powers of Attorney

Preparing Texas Statutory Durable Financial Powers of Attorney and Medical Powers of Attorney to empower designated agents without guardianship court intervention.

Independent & Dependent Probate Administration

Guiding named executors through Texas probate courts to prove the will, publish notices to creditors, inventory estate assets, and distribute inheritances.

Muniment of Title & Small Estate Affidavits

Utilizing cost-effective, expedited Texas probate procedures when estates have no outstanding debts other than real property liens.

Fiduciary Litigation & Will Contests

Resolving contentious probate disputes involving allegations of lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, executor breach of fiduciary duty, or contested heirship determinations.

Estate planning counsel crafts customized legal instruments to protect family legacies, prevent court delays, and ensure your wishes are executed smoothly.

Texas Family Law & Domestic Relations

Protecting Parental Rights, Children & Marital Assets under the Texas Family Code

Family law matters are among the most emotionally challenging and legally intricate disputes an individual can face in the Texas legal system. Governed primarily by the Texas Family Code, family jurisprudence balances statutory rules with the discretionary equitable authority of family district court judges. Key issues center around the dissolution of marriage, complex financial divisions, and safeguarding the physical and psychological well-being of minor children.

Texas is a community property state. Under Texas Family Code § 3.002, all property acquired by either spouse during marriage is presumed to be community property subject to a "just and right division" upon divorce, unless proven by clear and convincing evidence to be separate property. In matters affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR), Texas courts prioritize the "best interest of the child" standard under § 153.002. Navigating temporary orders hearings, standard possession orders, expanded possession schedules, child support guidelines, protective orders, and mediation requires strategic, compassionate, and unwavering legal counsel.

Key Legal Matters & Services in Family Law

Contested & Uncontested Divorce Proceedings

Representation through original petition filings, temporary restraining orders (TROs), temporary orders hearings, mandatory mediation, and final trial proceedings in Texas family courts.

Child Custody & Conservatorship (SAPCR)

Establishing Joint Managing Conservatorship (JMC) or Sole Managing Conservatorship (SMC), establishing primary residence rights, and tailored geographic boundary restrictions.

Possession Orders & Visitation Schedules

Structuring Texas Standard Possession Orders (SPO), expanded possession, holiday schedules, and long-distance visitation arrangements that prioritize children's stability.

High-Asset & Complex Property Division

Tracing separate property, valuation of closely-held businesses, retirement accounts (QDROs), stock options, real estate portfolios, and resolving marital debt allocation.

Child Support & Spousal Maintenance

Calculating statutory guideline child support, addressing above-guideline earnings, health insurance coverage, medical expense reimbursement, and statutory spousal maintenance.

Decree Modifications & Enforcement Actions

Enforcing child support orders or custody decrees through motions for contempt, and filing petitions to modify custody or support following material changes in circumstances.

Dedicated family law attorneys provide compassionate guidance and strategic trial advocacy to protect your parental bonds, financial future, and family well-being.

“We were most pleased with Christopher Hamm's update to our estate. Previous attorney made original estate plan cumbersome & had unnecessary steps in the process. Chris (who was recommended by friend) explained the clearest easiest way to make the needed changes. He communicated clearly, understandably, and is personable. He is professional but not intimidating....has a pleasant manner. And his fee was reasonable. His staff is helpful answering questions & returns calls right away. We will certainly use Chris again for any legal matters. We highly recommend Christopher Hamm!”

“Chris and his team were fantastic... he made our will, trust and other estate matters very simple for us to understand. He was quick to tell us his opinion, pro's and con's, but we never felt pressured one way or another. He responded to our questions promptly which made it easy for us to decide what we wanted. His competency and experience exudes out and my Wife and I felt very trusting of the whole process. We're definitely using him going forward and I highly recommend. Cheers!”

“My experience was not great. I was visibly shaken and nervous in my consultation and he could not have cared less. He had an annoying smirk on his face the whole time. I have metlife through work. Not only did he make me wait 2 months just for a consultation, despite no wait times being part of the agreement, but he would not even look at the stack of paperwork I brought with me to the consult to see if he could help with my case. He spent only 10 minutes with me and said I needed to put the papers in pdf form, fill out paper work and pay $600 in fees up front before he'd even read a word. He was stuck on one of my issues and would not listen to the rest of my issues. I knew I was supposed to have 20 free hours, but he stated I only had 8, he did not like to do payment plans, and would just withdraw from my case once I hit 8 hours. I left feeling worse than when I went in, and now I have wasted 2 months that I could have already had someone who cared working on my case. Lesson learned. Definitely do not use him for family law, especially if you are a woman. His body language said he did not like women.”

We met in person and he was so patient and thoughtful with her and her requests and questions. All in all he made the entire process very easy for us and I am so grateful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs his services!”
