Estate Planning Attorney in Houston, TX

Flat-fee estate plans for Houston families. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney — explained in plain English.

Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, with an economy built on energy, healthcare, aerospace, and international trade. The city's population is extraordinarily diverse, and its households range from young professionals in Midtown and the Heights to established families in Memorial, Katy, and Sugar Land. Houston's real estate market is massive and varied, and many residents own property that has appreciated significantly over the past decade. That combination of real estate, employer benefits, and investment accounts makes estate planning a practical necessity for most Houston families.

Jon Miller is licensed in Texas and serves Houston clients through a fully virtual process. The consultation, plan design, and document review all happen by video call. When your plan is finalized, we ship a signing package to your Houston address with detailed instructions and coordinate with a mobile notary in your area. You never need to leave Houston.

Houston is in Harris County, and probate matters go through the Harris County Probate Courts. Harris County has dedicated probate courts because of the sheer volume of cases, which tells you something about how many Houston families end up in that system. A funded revocable living trust keeps your family out of those courts entirely.

Texas Estate Planning Law

Texas is a community property state with some of the strongest homestead protections in the country. The Texas homestead exemption is unlimited in value for qualifying property, which creates unique estate planning opportunities and constraints. Texas also has specific rules around independent administration of estates, which can simplify probate when properly set up. The state does not have a state income tax or state estate tax, but federal estate tax thresholds still apply.
