Excellent estate planning services

Lacey did an excellent job helping me to update my estate planning, by updating my will and setting up some trusts. He is easily accessible by phone, email or text, and promptly responds to any questions. He is thorough in helping establish estate planning goals and helping one to select the right pl...an to fulfill those goals.

Highly recommended!

Lacey worked with me and my family for over 15 years beginning when our family discovered that my mother, advanced in age, was involved in sending large sums of money to scam artists and lotteries with promises to win millions. Lacey helped us through a heart-breaking time of transition by preservin...g Mom's assets yet giving her the dignity of being able to access a limited, court- ordered, personal account. Lacey guided us through annual court-ordered inventories and any other problems or questions that occasionally surfaced. Lacey was always available to the phone which I appreciated since I did not live in San Antonio though my mother did. Being a guardian-of-the-estate is not an easy task. I'm glad that I had Lacey and his very competent staff to call upon. I could not have done it without them. My mother reached her final reward in December 2017 just three weeks before reaching 102! Thank you, Lacey. You are awesome!

Lacey Whitten's services were excellent.

Mr. Whitten was recommended to us by the Executive Director of the Army Retirement Community in San Antonio to help our uncle, an 88-yr-old resident of ARC, who wished to sign a new will after the death of his wife in 2012. Mr. Whitten was able to visit with our uncle to make certain that his wishes... were properly stated in his new will. From my position as Executor of our uncle's will, I found Mr. Whitten to be extremely knowledgeable of the law and possessive of the ability to communicate with our uncle. He is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend him as an estate attorney.

(A++) Final Estate Planning and Execution/Probate of Will

Lacey and his team provided exceptional service when my mother moved in with us from another state where her prior will and powers of attorney had been prepared. He was able to help her understand and adjust her estate plans to accommodate Texas law and procedure, including final updates on a very s...hort timeline as her health deterioration accelerated dramatically. When Mom passed, Lacey continued to provide clear, professional and compassionate service in the probating and execution of her will. Further, his rates were reasonable and presented very transparently. As a retired senior military officer, I have low tolerance for inefficiency or incompetence, but I was thoroughly impressed by Lacey and his staff throughout this entire process. In fact, my wife and I are continuing consultation and service from him in updating our own estate plans. I highly recommend Lacey Whitten for your consideration.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
