Dana D. Jacobson

I advise and assist families and individuals in determining what sort of estate planning will benefit them at the most reasonable cost. We handle living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, designations of guardian, testamentary trusts, special needs trusts, etc., and work with our clients' CPAs to ensure full spectrum coverage.

Probate includes probating wills and estates of people who died without wills, as well as guardianships and affidavits of heirship to protect the chain of title to real estate. A new area in Texas is called the Small Estate Affidavit, which can save significant money for those estates that qualify for this process.

We help our clients form businesses and serve as general counsel in matters such as government filing compliance, drafting and review of contracts, defending lawsuits by customers, etc. We also integrate estate planning with business ownership to ensure clients' desires for their families are protected.

The limited liability company is the most popular form of business in Texas. A properly formed and maintained LLC protects the person's personal assets from creditors of the company. We form and help maintain LLCs for our clients.
