Making decisions about how one's possessions will be distributed after death is one of the kindest possible gifts that one can give to a grieving family. We can make certain that your wishes are specified in an understandable manner. Let us help you firmly establish a solid and beneficial outcome that will stand the test of time. We can help you with wills, trusts, estate planning, powers of attorney and health care powers of attorney so that you will rest assured that your wishes will be known and your loved ones cared for.

Do you own a small business? What would happen to your investment if you were no longer able to run the business? At Kalish Law Office we will work with you to draft powers of attorney on disability, and estate documents that take your business into account.

All parents of minor children should have a current, valid will that includes a trust for minors and specifies who will raise the children and take care of their finances. This is of utmost importance and includes new parents, single parents and divorced parents. Other family situations that require specific planning include those that arise when a family member has a disability, or in taking care of aging parents with health issues.

When someone dies without a will, it can cause strife and uncertainty in a family, especially in a step-family situation, where the law will specify certain property to be split between the current spouse and his or her stepchildren. Needless to say, this is not an ideal situation, especially when it comes as a surprise at a time that is filled with stress to begin with.

Relocation to Texas from another state should involve a review of a prior will, and most likely, the signing of new documents that are drafted under Texas law. Everyone who has a will, trust or powers of attorney should review those documents periodically to be sure that they are up to date, and that all the named executors and designated parties are still capable of carrying out their duties.

In instances where the deceased person owned property here but lived outside of the state of Texas, or outside of the U.S., we will determine the procedures to follow in probating a foreign will.

Upon the death of a loved one, we will help you navigate the probate process and determine which probate action, if any, is best for the estate. We will guide you through your duties as an executor, help you with legal notices, claims against the estate, inventory and appraisement, deed drafting and recording and other transfer of the property to the beneficiaries.
