Wills and Trust • Estate Tax Planning • Asset Protection • Medicaid Planning • Veterans Benefits • Probate
Estate planning is much more than accumulating money and avoiding taxes. It's about peace of mind. It's about your family and your legacy. It's about answers to situations that may arise years from now — or tomorrow.
The Livens Law Firm, located in Bedford, Texas, provides comprehensive legal counsel to ensure that you don't outlive your resources and to guide your loved ones in the event of death or disability. Whether you have the luxury of advance planning or need immediate help, our personalized plans will put you in the best legal and financial position.
We welcome individuals or their caregivers throughout Tarrant County and Dallas County, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and across Texas. Contact us today to arrange a free consultation regarding:
- Estate Planning — We consider all the what-ifs in drafting wills, powers of attorney and health care directives, and we can advise on sophisticated trusts to bypass probate, reduce estate taxes or provide for a disabled child.
- Medicaid Planning — We can preserve most — perhaps all — assets, even if your elderly parent has already entered a nursing home. It is never too late or too early to plan.
- Veterans Aid and Attendance — We help veterans and surviving spouses qualify for additional income for health care expenses, even when income or assets exceed the threshold.
- Asset Protection —Asset protection can be accomplished through the use of corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs), and family limited partnerships FLPs). However, extreme caution should be taken to be assured that they are properly drafted by competent counsel to establish these advanced planning techniques.
