Protect your family, your home, and everything you’ve built. Amanda Skeen creates wills, living trusts, and powers of attorney built around your family, not a template.
Every family is different. Amanda Skeen combines the right Texas documents into one coordinated plan that protects the people you love.
Name who inherits, who manages your estate, and who cares for your children, in a will that holds up under Texas law.
Keep your estate out of probate, private, and under your control, with a trust you can change anytime.
Name who handles your money and medical care if you can’t, with Texas powers of attorney and a directive to physicians.
Choose who raises your children and who manages their inheritance, so a court doesn’t decide for you.
Protect your home, savings, and family wealth with the right titles, beneficiaries, and trust structures.
Pass on your values and your wealth, with trusts that release money when and how you choose.
Without a plan, Texas law and the courts make the decisions for you. A clear estate plan prevents every one of these problems.
Without a will, state law picks your heirs, not you.
Your family can wait months for court approval to access assets.
A judge decides who raises your minor children.

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.
