We Offer Comprehensive Estate Planning Services

Drafting a Will

Every adult should have a carefully drafted will that has been updated to fit with their current financial and family situation. Far too many people procrastinate on their will or settle for a sloppy ‘do-it-yourself’ job. This is a mistake that you should avoid. Your will is a core estate planning document. Our Pearland same-sex estate planning attorneys can help you craft a will that will carry out your wishes and best serve your interests and desires.

Creating a Trust

While it is possible to hand down your assets and your property through your will, it is not always the most efficient way to do so. In many cases, you and your loved one will be far better off if you establish a trust. We can help you set up a trust that most effectively meets your estate planning objectives. A trust can help you save money, reduce complications, and eliminate the risk of a dispute. Although trusts can be confusing, our Pearland estate planning lawyers can help you determine if a trust is the best way to provide for your beneficiaries.

Guardianships

One of the most important parts of estate planning is protecting your assets and providing for your loved ones. However, there are also several other aspects of the process that should not be overlooked. Our Pearland guardianship attorneys are prepared to help you create a truly comprehensive estate plan. If you have children who are minors or other dependents, it is imperative that you set up a proper guardianship to protect their rights and interests. In addition, you should also set up a power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, and advance healthcare directives for yourself in the unfortunate event that you become incapacitated.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”
