MYTH vs. FACT: Lady Bird Deeds edition 🎸

No, it's not a country song. It's one of the most underused tools in Texas estate planning — and it might be exactly what your family needs.

A Lady Bird Deed lets you:
✔️ Keep full control of your home while you're alivein
✔️ Skip probate court entirely when you pass
✔️ Change your mind anytime — it's fully revocable

And these three? Also myths:
✗ "I'm too young for a will."
✗ "My family will just figure it out."
✗ "Estate planning is only for the wealthy."

Truth is, if you own a home, have kids, or just want to save your family a headache — you need a plan.

How much does an estate plan cost?

It's a question I hear all the time.

But here's a better question:

How much will it cost your family if you don't have one?

A thoughtfully prepared estate plan often costs a fraction of what your loved ones may spend hiring a probate attorney after you're gone.

Without a proper plan, your family could face:
• Thousands of dollars in probate attorney's fees
• Court costs and filing fees
• Months—or even years—of delays before assets can be distributed
• Family disagreements over who gets what or who makes important decisions
• Stress and uncertainty during an already difficult time

Estate planning isn't just about documents. It's about protecting the people you love from unnecessary expense, conflict, and heartache.

The best time to create an estate plan isn't when you're elderly or wealthy—it's while you have the ability to make your own decisions and give your family clear instructions.

A small investment today can save your loved ones significant time, money, and emotional strain tomorrow.

If you've been putting off your estate plan, consider what it may truly cost your family to wait.

What's one thing you wish someone had taught you about money, homeownership, or business when you were 20?

What's the funniest thing you've ever seen family members argue over after someone passed away? (Keep it light and respectful.)

Finish this sentence:

"I'll finally get my estate plan done when __________."

Wrong answers only. 😂

(I'm betting "after I organize the junk drawer" is going to be popular.)

Nothing brings siblings together.....like arguing over a crockpot that Grandma bought in 1997.

A good estate plan prevents family reunions from becoming courtroom reunions.

If your estate plan is: "My kids know what I want."
I have some difficult news...
They don't all remember the same conversation.

You know what's more expensive than hiring a lawyer?
Hiring one after someone says, "It'll probably be fine."

A will isn't for the people who are leaving.
It's for the people who are staying.
(And trust me—they'll thank you.)

Things your attorney wishes you knew before calling:

The earlier you call us, the more options you have.

A contract review before signing is cheaper than fixing a bad contract later.

"I didn't know I needed that" is something we hear every week.

We are not judging your situation; we are judging the paperwork. The paperwork is often guilty.
