“From the attorneys to the legal assistants and the receptionists, everyone we met at Willingham Law Firm, PC, was professional, yet warm-hearted and easy-going. The personal touch made figuring out a will and estate questions reasonably easy; and helped solve several areas of concern. We are so grateful for their expertise in helping us conclude this otherwise dreaded to-do list task.”

Practical guidance on estate planning, probate, and elder law from our attorneys.
James Park built a clean estate plan — a funded revocable living trust, updated beneficiary designations, and a pour-over will as a backstop. Then he changed jobs, opened a new brokerage account, and never retitled it. One $63,000 account in his personal name triggered a five-month Collin County probate proceeding. Here is what a pour-over will actually does, and what it cannot do.
Read ArticleKaren Park's mother Dorothy lived independently in West Plano for seven years after her husband died. She always meant to sign a power of attorney. Then the Alzheimer's arrived — and the window closed. What followed cost the family $19,000, eight months, and Dorothy's legal right to make her own decisions.
Read ArticleMargaret Thornton had the will. She had the death certificates. She knew the house was paid off. What she didn't know was that the six weeks after Robert died would introduce her to a legal system she never expected — one with deadlines, frozen accounts, and a 401(k) that didn't care what the will said.
