Estate Planning
Estate planning is preparing for your future incapacity or death. It can be an uncomfortable and emotional process. This is why you need a trusted advisor who listens to you and understands your desires and who you are as a person.
If you are over the age of 18, you should have an estate plan in process - especially if you have minor children, own real property, have a blended family, or own a business.
Estate planning is not a one-size-fits-all all. Estate planning is not just a set of documents. While it is true that an Estate Plan includes documents like your Will, Health Care Directives, Power of Attorney, Trust, Nomination of Guardians, etc., it is much more.
Planning for families
Did you know that 69% of parents have not yet named legal guardians for their minor children? At Billington Law, we understand that life is busy. You are building a career, growing your family, and planning for a prosperous future - while managing multiple calendars. But, if you are a parent, one of the most important steps in your estate plan is ensuring that your children will always be cared for by the people you trust - no matter what happens.
Selina is passionate about helping families create thoughtful, comprehensive plans that protect the children you love. Whether your child is a newborn, in their teens, or an adult with a special need, we’re here to ensure that their future is secure.
Every client with minor children receives a Kids Protection Plan, which goes beyond the basics to address critical issues that most estate plans overlook. The Kids Protection Plan ensures that your children will be raised by your chosen guardians, kept out of child protective services, and provided for according to your wishes.
Together, we will develop an estate plan that protects your children and their future, keeps you out of court and conflict, and protects your legacy and ensures your values are passed down.
Planning for blended Families
For blended families, life partners, and LGBTQ+ couples, ensuring that your partner has legal rights to inherit, make medical decisions, and access to your estate is a priority. Many couples are unaware of Texas intestacy laws. This means, your wishes may not be honored unless you have the correct legal documents.
We understand the complexities of estate planning for blended families and the LGBTQ+ community. Our approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, values, and goals.
Business succession planning
If you own a business, it is essential to have a clear plan for its future. We will help you prepare for a smooth transition of ownership and management. This is particularly important for blended families with multiple generations of family members involved.

At Billington Law PLLC, we understand that trust administration can feel overwhelming, especially during times of personal loss.

What is Trust Administration?
​
Trust administration involves the management and distribution of assets held in a trust after the death of the grantor (the person who created the trust).
It includes tasks such as:
-
Inventory of Assets: Identifying and valuing all assets held within the trust.
-
Notifying Beneficiaries: Communicating with all beneficiaries about the trust and its terms.
-
Managing Debts & Taxes: Settling any debts or tax obligations before distributing assets.
-
Distributing Assets: Ensuring the proper distribution of assets to beneficiaries as outlined in the trust.
