When Should You Get an Estate Plan?

Now. Life-altering changes happen in the blink of an eye, but preparing ahead protects your plans and wishes. Consider creating or updating your estate plan when life-changing events occur, such as:

Marriage or divorce

The birth of a child or grandchild

A child's milestone birthday

Acquisition of new assets

Retirement

Estate Plans: Not Just for the Rich & Famous

Estate planning brings peace of mind. Without an estate plan, the court — not you — will determine how your assets are distributed. 

RLF’s experienced attorneys navigate the court system efficiently, helping reduce delays, costs, and unnecessary complications. RLF’s Estate Planning Team is dedicated to guiding each client through the process with compassion, clarity, and precision. 

Estate planning is essential for anyone wanting to protect loved ones, not just senior citizens or the wealthy. Without a plan, the courts decide who receives your estate — not you. Assets do not automatically transfer to a spouse or a child after death.
Without a complete plan, the process can be complicated, leading to unnecessary financial strain and significant delays for your family.

What is Included in an Estate Plan?

A complete estate plan is more than a will or trust. It also addresses critical issues including disability, illness or incapacity. Estate plans are not a “one size fits all.” The complexity of the estate plan lies solely with you and how you wish to distribute assets to heirs or beneficiaries.

Last Will & Testament

Establishes asset distribution, appoints an executor, and prevents state-controlled probate decisions.

Durable Power of Attorney

Grants a trusted individual authority over financial and legal matters in case of incapacity. Prevents court intervention.

Medical Power of Attorney

Designates a decision-maker for healthcare choices. Ensures medical preferences receive proper respect.

HIPAA Release

Provides access to medical records for authorized individuals, allowing for informed healthcare decisions.

Directive to Physicians (Living Will)

Specifies end-of-life medical preferences. Ensures decisions align with personal values.

Declaration of Guardian

Prevents courts from selecting an unintended guardian during incapacitation. Establishes clear directives.

Appointment of Guardian for Minor Children

Ensures legal guardianship of minor children follows personal wishes rather than court determinations.

Additional Considerations

Addresses key planning areas such as beneficiary designations, business succession, and charitable giving.

I initially thought that planning our Will, Trust, and POA would be a difficult process but Catherine was able simplify each step. Not only is she very Knowledgeable, she managed to explain everything in detail and step by step. She was open to questions and ensured we understood everything before we finalized our documents. We gained so much confidence in her that we recommended her services to friends and family. Thank you Catherine for giving us peace of mind that our family is taken care of. Valerie Trevino

I was greeted warmly and offered a beverage I met with Ms Catherine Byers to discussing updating my estate documents She was courteous, explained things very clearly and was a patient listener throughout our meeting. Although it was supposed to be only a 30 minute consultation, I never felt rushed and she took the time to answer all of my questions I would highly recommend Ms Byers!
