Our Expertise
Practice Areas
Comprehensive legal services designed specifically for Texas business owners, property investors, and ranchers who’ve built something worth protecting.
Our Areas of Expertise
Estate planning isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially when you own a business, manage multiple properties, or run a ranching operation. These valuable assets require specialized strategies that address your unique challenges: business succession, multi-property liability, hunting lease risks, agricultural exemptions, and generational wealth transfer.
At Barnard Law, we focus exclusively on the legal services that matter most to Texas entrepreneurs and landowners. Our practice areas work together to create comprehensive protection for everything you’ve built.
Texas Wills and Trusts
Protect Your Wishes
Creating a will is a crucial step in securing your legacy and ensuring that your wishes are carried out after your passing. We work with you to create your will in accordance with Texas laws. We understand the importance of personalized estate planning and work closely with you to craft a comprehensive and legally sound will that reflects your unique circumstances and intentions.
Trusts provide powerful tools for protecting assets, minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your wealth transfers according to your wishes. Unlike wills, trusts provide privacy, immediate asset management upon incapacity, and ongoing control even after you’re gone.
Whether you need a simple will or a sophisticated trust structure, we provide the guidance you need to protect what matters most.
