KELLEY KENDALL

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Amanda Skeen for estate planning and execution of Trust. Not only is Amanda extremely knowledgeable & professional, but she also took time to explain all my questions in detail, was extremely patient as I navigated decisions and kind & compassionate. I highly recommend Skeen Law, Amanda Skeen and her staff, for your estate planning.

Sandra Jimenez

My husband and I are delighted to work with Attorney Amanda Skeen. She manages our Estate Planning needs and we really appreciate the fact that she expedited the whole process to meet our deadline, even when she had a medical emergency. She was on top of things and did not leave the matter unattended.

Reza Haghighatian

Ms. Amanda Skeen and her team provided outstanding assistance with our estate planning. Amanda demonstrated exceptional knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care throughout the entire process. Their fees are fair and transparent, and we truly appreciated their professionalism and integrity. We highly recommend Ms. Skeens and her team to anyone seeking expert guidance in estate planning.

Jeff Harper

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amanda and her team at the Skeen Law Firm. Amanda was great to work with, answered all of our questions, was very responsive, kind, friendly, honest, respectful and professional. She expertly guided us through the estate planning processes and options with kindness and dignity! She was never pushy or dismissive and made the entire process as easy to navigate as possible. I would highly recommend Amanda and her team at the Skeen Law Firm to handle any and all estate planning activities from simple to complex.

Robin Allen

Amanda Skeen was very professional and easy to work with. Estate planning was done via phone calls with a final meeting for signatures. Her staff was quick with responses to any questions we had. Would highly recommend her.

FAQs

The questions San Antonio families ask us most, answered plainly.

An estate planning lawyer creates the legal documents that decide who receives your assets, who manages them, who cares for your children, and who makes decisions for you if you can’t. The goal is a plan that works in Texas and avoids court where possible.

Yes. Most estate plans protect families, not fortunes. If you own a home, have children, or want someone you trust to make decisions for you, you need a plan.

A will takes effect at death and must go through probate in Texas. A revocable living trust, by contrast, holds your assets during your lifetime, avoids probate entirely, and can provide seamless management if you become incapacitated. The right choice depends on your asset types, family situation, and privacy preferences — we’ll help you decide.

 
 

A thorough Texas estate plan typically includes a Last Will and Testament, a Statutory Durable Power of Attorney, a Medical Power of Attorney, a Directive to Physicians (living will), and a HIPAA Authorization. Depending on your situation, we may also recommend a revocable living trust, a Declaration of Guardian, or beneficiary designation reviews.

 

No. Texas has no state estate tax or inheritance tax. The federal estate tax applies only to very large estates, and we plan for it when it applies.

Review it every three to five years, and right away after a marriage, divorce, birth, move, or major purchase. Our estate plan maintenance service keeps it current.

Online forms can’t ask follow-up questions or catch Texas-specific mistakes. A local estate planning law firm in San Antonio tailors your plan to your family and makes sure it’s signed correctly.

You’ll review your assets and goals, choose the right legal documents, and work with an attorney to put your plan in place.
