🏃‍♂️Running for their future—in more ways than one!

We were so excited to be a sponsor of the Barksdale Elementary color Run this week! Watching these kids cross the finish line with huge smiles is a great reminder of why we do what we do: protecting the people and communities that matter most.

Just like teaching kids healthy habits early sets them up for a lifetime of success, taking care of your estate planning sets your family up for long-term security.

Whether it's ensuring your children are always protected with designated guardians or leaving a legacy that supports future generations, planning ahead is the ultimate act of love.

Keep pacing yourselves—life is a marathon, not a sprint! 👟✨

**Pro Tip for Parents:** Between cheering on your runners, take 5 minutes to check off your to-do list. Have you designated a legal guardian for your kids yet? Call 📞 our office to get started!

Family estate planning doesn’t have to play out like the movie, “Knives Out.”

Recently Attorney Adriane S. Grace spoke to a group of local mothers about a fear we hear often: “If I make a plan, will my family fight over it?”

No document can guarantee that everyone will agree. But leaving your wishes unstated can give loved ones more room to guess what you wanted.

An estate plan lets you put key decisions in writing: whom you trust to take charge and how you want your property handled. At Grace Estate Law, we help you think through those choices and make your wishes clear. Send us a DM to start the conversation on setting up your estate plans.

“Who do I choose to be my Executor, Trustee, or Guardian for my children?”

It’s one of the questions we hear most often when families start estate planning. Who should serve as executor, trustee, guardian for children? Who understands your wishes and can take on that responsibility?

Recently, at an event hosted by Mom Brain Media, our managing attorney Adriane Grace helped local moms think through those decisions. A form can give someone a role. But choosing the right person requires a conversation about your family, your relationships, and your circle of trust.

That’s the professional legal guidance we provide at Grace Estate Law. Follow us at Grace Estate Law | Frisco, TX for practical estate planning conversations that help you know what to consider.

Thank You to Jaime Garza at First Light Home Care who spoke to our clients last week at a webinar on Home Care vs. Home Healh vs. Hospice. Not only did he help our caregivers understand their options, but also how these services need to be layered together to best care for your love ones with disabilities. Jaime Garza is a great resource for information on VA benefits and Medicare and we are so glad he is part of our community of resources.

If you missed this great webinar, reach out to us for a copy of the recording, today!

Grateful and thankful for our county constables and sheriffs 👮 who do the thankless job of serving up due process for our civil cases.

The officer pictured here with me today went above and beyond to help me get service done at the courthouse so I could proceed with an emergency guardianship case for 2 orphaned children. He actually had to hand papers to an 8 year old and a 9 year old before the judge could hear our case (very long story why we could not serve the children anywhere else!).

This is due process—our 5th and 14th Amendment right under the U.S. Constitution—our right to not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without (1) notice and (2) an opportunity to be heard.

This process does not exist in many civil code nations and what has historically, set the U.S. apart from many nations.

Because a guardianship can deprive an individual of their freedoms and rights, a judge does not have jurisdiction to hear a guardianship case until the individual is served with notice of the hearing.

Have questions about the guardianship process? Call 📞 our office today!

The Dallas Cowboys pulled over a win last night, but what I can’t get over is this foreboding little missive from owner Jerry Jones!

As an Elder Law practitioner, I agree with this 💯 ! But I’d probably finish that statement as follows: “there’s nothing more dangerous than an old man with money … and no estate plan!”

Guardianship of the elderly occurs at the crossroads of poor planning and family dynamics.

When you don’t send a clear message, in writing, to your adult children, and next of kin, a court will decide what happens when you become disabled.

And that’s dangerous ⚠️

Even the most agreed and straightforward Guardianship costs upwards of tens of thousands of dollars 💵 in legal fees. That’s because every financial move is supervised by the probate court.

Take it from the experts like Jerry Jones … avoid the danger and get a revocable living trust!

This! If you haven’t updated your estate plan in awhile to include a comprehensive trust for disability planning, come see us.

As a modern population, we are living longer, but with chronic health problems and we will need the assistance of next of kin as we age.

It’s so important to not just make their job easier, but to make it harder for them to engage in financial exploitation. Advanced disability planning includes thoughtfully created powers of attorney documents and living trusts.

Many Americans assume that if they can afford paid help in older age, they won’t need to rely on kin—but this myth will leave them incredibly unprepared, Stephanie H. Murray argued in June. https://theatln.tc/PbskZeJ9
