Many new friends at Fowler Law are those we have fondly nicknamed our "California Pilgrims." They have left everything from a very beautiful state they love to come to a strange new land. They thoughtfully reach out to ask us about whether their California-drafted estate plan documents and trusts need to be changed when they become Texas residents. What we often find is that they never fully understood what type of trust they had drawn or the trust's purpose - whether formed in California, Texas, or on the Moon!

EXPERT TIP: UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR TRUST IS INTENDED TO DO.

If you belive a trust has been created that controls some or all of your assets, it is essential for you to understand fully what it is intended to do. Is it a family trust, a revocable trust, an irrevocable trust, a special needs trust? Do you even know what those terms mean?

If you don't know or aren't sure, we can help you.

Our NO COST first consultation is a great way to get answers so you can go back to enjoying your new life in Texas.
