Planning and Estate Administration
Practical Guidance for Texas Families
Rania Combs Law helps Texas clients make important legal decisions during life and address the transfer and administration of property after death. The practice includes estate planning, wills, trusts, incapacity documents, probate, and intestacy matters.
Planning begins with the client’s actual decisions: who should receive property, who should manage financial and medical matters during incapacity, who should serve as Executor, and whether a trust or beneficiary arrangement should supplement the Will. The legal documents are then selected and coordinated around those goals rather than treated as a standard package.
After a death, the focus shifts to identifying who has authority to act, determining whether probate or another Texas procedure is required, addressing estate obligations, and transferring property under the Will or Texas intestacy law. Rania provides direct explanations and practical guidance through the steps that apply to the particular estate.
From Planning to Administration
Services Built Around Your Next Decision
Choose the area that best matches what you need to accomplish now, whether you are preparing legal documents, reviewing an existing plan, or handling property after a death.
Estate Planning
Coordinate your Will, incapacity documents, property ownership, and beneficiary arrangements around the people you want to protect and the decisions you want to control.
Wills
Prepare a Texas Will that identifies beneficiaries, names an Executor, nominates guardians for minor children, and provides instructions for property passing through the estate.
Trusts
Evaluate whether a revocable living trust or another trust arrangement would improve property management, incapacity planning, privacy, or the way beneficiaries receive their inheritance.
Incapacity Planning
Authorize trusted people to handle financial matters and healthcare decisions through coordinated powers of attorney, medical directives, and related documents.
Probate
Determine the appropriate Texas probate procedure, establish authority to act for the estate, address valid claims and expenses, and transfer probate property to the proper beneficiaries.
Intestacy
Identify the legal heirs and determine how separate and community property may be distributed when a Texas resident dies without a valid Will.
