I've already posted & they want to keep sending. They need to stop because IT'S NOT GOOD BUSINESS. You would think the 1st would be good enough.

My experience with Your Legacy Legal Care has been very good. They helped me through probate when my husband passed away a couple of years ago and helped me set up a trust to help someday when I'm gone. I found all their employees eager to help and assist and the turn around time has been great. I can't say enough nice things about them. They entertained all my endless questions and concerns and I felt were so kind, patient and friendly.

After several attempts to decide who I could trust with my affairs, I am grateful that I chose the Legacy Legal Care team. From my first call to my in person visit and throughout the entire process, every person gave me confidence that I had made the right decision. It is rare to find a team where everyone consistently shows kindness, patience, professionalism, and genuine care, but that has been my experience from start to finish. My questions were always welcomed, never dismissed, and I felt supported and respected at every step. I would list each person by name, but I am afraid I might leave someone out, and every individual I interacted with deserves recognition. I am truly appreciative of the compassion, clarity, and commitment shown to me throughout this journey. Grateful I am.

Have done a will in the past but due to complexities it was not detailed enough our Family. The Attorney that I was planning to redraw the Will was no longer in our area. Not sure what happened. Had been 20 years since drawn up. Did my research, asked around and realize what was needed was a Living Trust. Again looked at all the Attorney's that were recognized throughout Texas. Having a ranch, homestead and with befeneficiaries with unique issues. Landed with a handful of firms. Met with them and ultimately was impressed with Legacy's entire staff. Everyone was helpful, professional, addressed our issues and were extremely thorough on explaining every step in the process we took. Allowed us too contact their office with questions and provided guidance through the process upto signing off on our Trust. Leagacy staff continuously helped us to land on a Trust that reflected our values!

Your Legacy Legal Care is amazing! We had a trust (estate planning) completed for us by another attorney and thought it was wonderful but "Your Legacy Legal Care" in Houston surpassed wonderful, and were absolutely EXCEPTIONAL! Kim Hegwood and her team were professional, and most of all patient in answering all of our questions. The amount of legwork they did compared to the prior attorney was incredible. The final overview and summary were extensive and easy to understand. As a retired professional, I highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been a client of this firm for many years. Kim Hegwood helped me navigate the court system when my parents died and she had done estate planning for my wife and I. We’ve used her firm for setting up trusts and other legacy planning. Great team. Easy to communicate with and receive answers, updates, etc. Highly recommended.

I had a positive experience and professional working relationship with Legacy Legal Care. They handled over two years of complex guardianships and probate work for my parents' estates. Special thanks to Kim and Aubrey! I appreciated the clear communication throughout the process.

Hi, I had my Will drawn up by Legacy Legal Care. I had the experience of several attorneys asking questions about my needs in great detail as well as explaining different options available. I was very impressed & pleased to receive so much info about a need that was “in Greek” so to say. After my decision on my needs based on the assistance obtained by several professionals it was drawn up. I have 2 disabled sons & I was very relieved to have this guidance. I feel confident that they will be well protected at my death. Thank you for your patience & much attention to details based on the law.

What's at Stake Without an Estate Plan

Estate planning is about protecting your family, preserving your assets, and ensuring a smooth transition for the people you love. Without a plan, here's what your family could face:

  • The State Decides, Not You — With no will or trust, Texas's intestacy laws — not your wishes — decide who inherits everything you've built.
  • Probate Drags On — Your estate can sit in public probate while your family waits — time, cost, and paperwork they inherit alongside it.
  • Court Costs Eat the Estate — Probate fees, court costs, and legal charges all come out of your estate before your family sees a dime.
  • A Judge Has the Final Say — Decisions about your assets, even who raises your children, fall to a court that never knew you or your intentions.
  • Your Estate Goes Public — Probate is public record: anyone can see what you owned, what you owed, and exactly who received it.
  • Risks for Minor Children — Without a plan, the court chooses who raises your kids and controls their inheritance until they're grown.
  • Blended-Family Conflict — Stepchildren and second marriages can create outcomes you never intended — and lasting family feuds.
  • Creditors Get Paid First — In probate, outstanding debts and creditor claims are settled before your loved ones receive anything at all.
  • Family Left to Argue — With no clear, binding wishes, grieving relatives are left to fight over what you "would have wanted."
  • Costlier to Fix Later — Waiting, or leaving a DIY form, often means your family pays far more to untangle than a real plan ever would.
