Wills & Trusts Plan Wisely, Then Live Fully

Frisco Will & Trust Attorneys

Drafting & Finalizing Wills & Trusts in North Dallas and East Texas

Creating a comprehensive estate plan helps protect your loved ones, your assets, and your final wishes. Many people delay this important process because the topic feels uncomfortable, yet facing these decisions now can provide clarity and peace of mind for your family later. At Mohr Law Group, we view estate planning as a powerful act of care for your future and your legacy. Estate planning generally starts with establishing a will, and, depending on your specific needs, it may involve forming one or more trusts.

Our experienced attorneys can develop estate planning instruments that reflect your specific goals and family dynamics. While a will can create a clear roadmap for asset distribution and who will care for your minor children, a trust offers additional layers of control, privacy, and flexibility. We can guide you through the nuances of Texas law to determine which tools best serve your interests with a warm, human-focused approach. Whether you need to manage complex real estate assets, support a family member with special needs, or simply create a straightforward will, we can deliver high-value legal solutions built on clarity, dignity, and long-term stability. We believe our reviews speak for themselves.

For your convenience, we can meet with you both in person and virtually. Our firm also offers flat fees for most of our estate planning packages.

What Can a Will Accomplish?

A will serves as the foundation of your estate plan. It grants you the power to direct who receives your assets after you pass away. If you are a parent, your will provides the only legal vehicle to nominate guardians for your minor children. You also use this document to appoint an executor, a trusted individual who manages your affairs and oversees the final distribution of your estate after you pass away.

Your will does have limitations. Assets named in a will are subject to probate, a court-supervised process that often involves waiting periods and legal fees before your loved ones receive their inheritances. Additionally, a will creates a public record, meaning your financial details and beneficiary choices become accessible to anyone. For these and other reasons, many choose to augment their estate plans with one or more trusts.

What Is a Trust, & What Can It Accomplish?

A trust is a versatile legal instrument that holds and manages assets for the benefit of third parties. While many view trusts as tools exclusively for the wealthy, we see them as practical solutions for families of all backgrounds who seek privacy and control.

By funding a trust, you can transfer ownership of your property to the trust itself, yet you can specify exactly how a trustee manages and distributes those assets. This arrangement can allow your estate to bypass the public, time-consuming, and often costly probate process. Furthermore, a trust grants you the ability to dictate the terms of an inheritance. For example, you might stipulate that a beneficiary receives funds only after reaching a certain age or achieving specific milestones to help protect them from financial mismanagement.

Our team at Mohr Law Group is prepared to assist you with both primary categories of trusts:

Revocable living trusts. This instrument offers maximum flexibility. You retain full control over trust assets and have the power to modify, amend, or dissolve the trust throughout your life. We typically recommend this type of trust to clients who want to avoid probate and maintain privacy but wish to access their assets without restriction while they are alive. It can also serve as a powerful tool for incapacity planning, as it allows a successor trustee to step in immediately if you become unable to manage your own affairs.
Irrevocable trusts. An irrevocable trust creates a permanent, irreversible structure. Once you sign this document and fund the trust, you generally cannot change its terms or reclaim its assets. We tend to leverage these trusts for advanced objectives, such as reducing estate tax liability or shielding assets from potential creditors and lawsuits. By removing assets from your taxable estate, you can preserve more of your wealth for future generations.

A special needs trust can also help you protect a loved one with a disability. This key tool allows you to provide financial support and resources to a disabled family member without disqualifying them from essential government benefits like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Why You Should Work with a Lawyer When Creating Your Will or a Trust

Estate planning requires more than filling out forms. It demands a strategic understanding of the law and how it applies to your specific situation. Our knowledgeable attorneys can help you navigate complex scenarios that online templates cannot reliably address. Working with our lawyers also gives you an objective party who can ask the difficult "what if" questions, anticipate contingencies you might overlook, and craft precise language that holds up under scrutiny. We can provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing your plan is legally sound and tailored specifically to your objectives.

Attempting to draft your own will or trust invites significant risk. DIY services and generic forms frequently fail to comply with strict state formalities regarding witnessing and notarization, which can render the entire document invalid. A single ambiguity in wording can lead to years of expensive litigation and family conflict, and self-made plans may miss critical opportunities for asset protection or tax savings. Working with our team helps prevent these burdens from falling on the people you love most.

When Do I Need to Update My Will or Trust?

Life rarely stands still, and your estate plan must evolve alongside it. We generally suggest reviewing your documents every three to five years, or immediately following any major life transition. Events such as marriage, divorce, the arrival of a child or grandchild, or the death of a beneficiary often require immediate updates to your asset distribution and guardianship choices. Significant shifts in your financial circumstances, including the sale of a business, the receipt of an inheritance, or the purchase of property in another state, also demand a fresh look at your strategy.

By keeping your will and trust(s) current, you can maintain a plan that accurately protects your family according to your most recent wishes. We can help you efficiently update your estate plan as needed and make tailored suggestions during routine reviews.
