Why Estate Planning Matters for Every Family

Creating an estate plan protects your family, your assets, and the legacy you’ve worked hard to build. James Martinez with Lone Star Wills and Trusts joins us to explain why estate planning matters and how setting up the right trust can bring long term peace of mind.
Estate planning is essential because it lays out your wishes for medical care, powers of attorney, and how you want your assets distributed. Having these decisions documented ensures a smoother, less stressful process for your loved ones, sparing them from unnecessary legal challenges during an already emotional time.
When it comes to trusts, the options can feel overwhelming, but James breaks it down simply. There are two main types:
Revocable trusts, which allow you to make changes over time and help your estate avoid probate.
Irrevocable trusts, which cannot be changed once created and are often used for long term protection or tax planning.
The right choice depends on your goals and your stage in life—but you don’t have to make that decision alone.
