You can get exactly what you think you need from a DIY will-and-trust website.

But what about what you don't know you don't know?

That's the real value of working with an experienced estate planning attorney.

You go to a cardiologist for heart issues.

You go to a mechanic for car issues.

You hire a professional when the consequences of getting something wrong matter.

Estate planning is no different.

A website can give you documents. But estate planning is about much more than filling in the blanks. It's about understanding your family, your assets, your goals,
Texas law, and the issues you may not even know to ask about.

And yes—we know people sometimes hesitate to work with attorneys because they've heard the stories about complicated billing and unexpected legal fees.

That's not how we operate at Crain & Wooley.

We believe you deserve to know what you're paying before you move forward.

We're upfront about our pricing and what our services include.

Don't leave your life's work and the people you love to the cheapest option simply because it looks easy.

When it comes to protecting everything you've worked for, you deserve more than a document. You deserve a plan. Call us at 972-560-6288.

Don't let the dust gather on your estate plan.

We often hear people say, “I have an estate plan. I’m good!”

But when was the last time you actually looked at it?

So, what does “review your estate plan regularly” really mean?

We suggest two simple rules:

1. Review it whenever there's a major life change.
Marriage. Divorce. Birth of a child or grandchild. Death of a beneficiary. A significant change in your assets. A move to another state. A change in the people you've named to serve.

2. If nothing major has changed, use the “5 or 0” rule.
Make it a point to review your estate plan when you have a birthday ending in 5 or 0—45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, and so on.

It gives you an easy reminder without having to wonder, “When am I supposed to review this again?”

Your estate plan should reflect your current family, current assets, and current wishes.

Don't let a beautifully prepared plan become an outdated plan.

Put a reminder on the calendar—and keep your plan working for your family.

Have you talked with the people you've chosen to serve your family?

You've carefully selected your Executor, Power of Attorney Agents, and Successor Trustees. But have you actually talked with them about their appointment?

The conversation doesn't have to be long or complicated.

They don't need to know every detail of your estate plan.

But they do need to know that you've chosen them—and that they may be called upon to help.

Imagine being named someone's Power of Attorney or Trustee and finding out only after a crisis occurs. You may not know where to find their documents, who their attorney is, what their wishes are, or even that you've been appointed.

A simple conversation today can make a difficult situation much easier tomorrow.
Consider telling them:
👉 “I've named you in my estate plan.”
👉 “Here's why I chose you.”
👉 “Here's where my important documents are located.”
👉 “If something happens, here's who you should contact.”

Estate planning isn't just about creating the documents. It's about making sure the people you've chosen are prepared to carry them out.

Have the conversation. It doesn't have to be complicated. ❤️
