Estate Planning, Business Transactions & Asset Protection
Circumstances in life overlap. How can you be sure to pick an attorney that can stitch the seams of your complex life together? I am a Texas board-certified estate planning attorney. Most people know that estate planning law firms help you with basic estate planning tools like wills. With over 30 years of experience as an attorney focusing on assisting people in planning for the future rather than resolving problems in the present, my firm considers the larger picture.
When we sit down together, we will discuss your broad life goals, including:
- Ways to ensure your business will remain under your family’s ownership and operational control.
- Strategies for reducing your taxes now and making sure your heirs and beneficiaries aren’t burdened with taxes when you die.
- Legal instruments to allow you to make decisions on behalf of elderly or incapacitated loved ones.
- Transactional concerns about passing on the title to your home-related to estate planning and asset protection.
A Proud Member of the Community
Will your lawyer know more than just how to fill out forms and turn in paperwork? How effective will your lawyer be in surpassing your expectations?
I get to know my clients by taking an active role in the community. I am involved on multiple levels in Rotary International and Boy Scouts of America and an active member of the New Braunfels Chambers of Commerce. When you walk through the doors of The J.M. Dickerson Law Firm, I want you to feel as if you are visiting a friendly neighbor and a trusted member of the business and legal community.
