🌿 Estate Planning Isn’t Just for the Rich!
By John MacDonald Jr., Attorney – Texas Hill Country
When people hear the words “estate planning,” they often picture wealthy families with sprawling ranches, lake houses, and complicated trusts. But here’s the truth:
👉 Estate planning isn’t about how much you have — it’s about who you love and how you protect them.
Here in the Texas Hill Country, we value family, faith, and hard work. Estate planning is simply an extension of those values. It’s about taking control of your future instead of leaving it to the courts or the State of Texas. Because when life happens — and it always does — the last thing your loved ones need is legal chaos during a time of loss.
If you don’t make a plan, the State of Texas will make one for you, and I can guarantee it won’t look the way you’d want it to.
A solid estate plan keeps your family out of probate court, saves time and money, and prevents unnecessary stress and conflict. It’s not about piles of paperwork — it’s about peace, clarity, and love in action.
💡 Why Estate Planning Matters for Every Family
Estate planning gives you freedom:
Freedom from confusion and conflict.
Freedom from unnecessary legal costs.
Freedom to make sure your assets go exactly where you want them to.
It’s not just about wealth — it’s about wisdom. Estate planning is your opportunity to protect your family’s future and ensure your wishes are honored.
📊 Let’s Look at the Numbers
60% of Americans don’t have a will — leaving critical decisions up to the courts.
70% believe estate planning is only for the wealthy — but every family benefits from a plan.
Over 50% of parents haven’t named guardians for their children — leaving one of life’s biggest choices to a judge.
Don’t let that be your family’s story.
