The road you built shouldn't end with you.
LegacyPath Estate Planning guides families through wills, trusts, and the follow-through most plans never get — so everything you've worked for passes on exactly the way you intend.
An estate plan isn't paperwork.
It's the last letter you'll ever write your family —
and it should say exactly what you mean.
Most families put this off — not because they don't care, but because it feels complicated, heavy, and easy to get wrong. LegacyPath Estate Planning exists to make it simple, warm, and finished. Not just signed — done: funded, aligned, organized, and explained to the people who'll need it.
What We Put in Order
Your Will
Your wishes in plain writing — guardians named, gifts directed, nothing left to a courtroom's calendar.
Your Trust
For families who want privacy, control, and a smoother handoff — explained simply, built properly.
Beneficiaries, Aligned
The most common estate mistake is a form nobody updated. We review every designation so the right people are actually named.
Funding Follow-Through
A trust only works if your assets are titled into it. We track the funding checklist to the last item — the step most plans skip.
Directives & Powers
Healthcare directives and powers of attorney, coordinated with licensed attorneys, so someone you chose can act when it matters.
The Family Conversation
Help preparing the people you love — where things are, what you decided, and why. Clarity is part of the inheritance.
The Legacy Tree
Strong roots create lasting legacies.
Your values, your faith, what you taught, what you planned — those are the roots. Your plan is the trunk that carries them upward. And the branches? Those aren't yours. They belong to your children, your grandchildren, your community — everyone your life will keep providing for after you've finished providing.
A tree is the only monument that keeps growing.
The Path, Start to Finish
The Conversation
One unhurried sit-down about your family, your wishes, and what you want your legacy to do.
The Plan
A plain-English map of what you need — and what you don't. No jargon, no pressure.
The Documents
Wills, trusts, and directives prepared with licensed attorneys, done right the first time.
The Funding
Assets titled, beneficiaries aligned, the checklist completed — the follow-through that makes it real.
The Review
Life changes. A standing annual review keeps your plan true to it.

Will or Trust? Take the 2-Minute Quiz
The right plan depends on your family, your assets, and your wishes — there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Take a few quiet minutes to answer a handful of questions and you’ll see which path fits your family. No cost, no pressure — and your answers help Michael prepare for a more meaningful first conversation.
Honest Answers
Do I need a trust, or is a will enough?＋
It depends on your family, your assets, and your goals — and that's exactly what the first conversation is for. Many families are well served by a will; others gain real privacy and smoothness from a trust. You'll understand the difference before deciding anything.
What happens if I don't have a plan?＋
State law decides — through probate, a public court process that can take months and puts choices in a judge's hands instead of yours. A plan simply keeps those decisions where they belong: with you.
Are you attorneys?＋
Documents are prepared with licensed attorneys where required. Michael's role is guidance and follow-through: making sure you understand your options, the paperwork gets done right, and the plan actually gets finished — including the funding step most plans never complete.
What does the consultation cost?＋
Nothing. It's a conversation about where your plan stands — no cost, no obligation, no pressure.
Can we meet virtually?＋
Yes. LegacyPath Estate Planning serves families in all 50 states, by video, phone, or in person around Houston.
I already have documents. Can you review them?＋
Please bring them. Old documents with unaligned beneficiaries or an unfunded trust are among the most common — and most fixable — problems we see.
What is trust funding?＋
Retitling your assets — accounts, property, policies — so they're actually owned by or payable to your trust. Without it, even a beautifully drafted trust can end up in probate anyway. It's the step we never skip.
How long does the process take?＋
Most families complete the full path — conversation to funded plan — in a few weeks, moving at their own pace.
