Estate Planning 75%

I work with clients of all ages, from those concerned with protecting their young children and planning for their future, to those who are concerned with how their assets will pass to future generations.

75%
Trusts 10%

I prepare trusts of all kinds, from revocable living trusts with the goal of avoiding probate and Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts for those with nursing home concerns, to Special Needs Trusts.

10%
Wills and Living Wills 10%

I work with clients who want to ensure what they have is passed down to the right people via wills and also ensure all of my clients have the proper legal disability documents in place, including living wills in case they are ever on life support.

10%
Power of Attorney 5%

I make sure my clients are protected with powers of attorney so if they are unable to manage their own affairs, they have the right people in place to manage things, keep them out of the court system, and represent them when medical issues arise.

I would highly recommend Katie Manchaca!

My husband and I met with Mrs. Manchaca to discuss the possibility of her drafting our Wills. We don't have a lot, but want to make sure that our son is taken care of in the event of our passing and protect what little we have. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting different way...s we can protect our assets and how things will get passed on to our son. She pointed out scenarios that we had never thought of. I was very impressed with her expertise and appreciated her thoughtfulness when discussing such deeply personal situations. No one wants to think about their passing, but she was able to help us comprehend all that will be needed in the event something does happen. I would highly recommend Katie Manchaca for any of your estate planning needs!!
