Estate Planning Attorney for Austin, Texas

Vinh Doan Law Office, APC is licensed in Texas and California and works with Austin and Travis County families by Zoom and phone. We prepare wills, living trusts, powers of attorney and medical directives under Texas law, and we help people who have moved to Austin from California update their plan.

Moved to Austin from California? Update your estate plan

Many Austin residents arrived from California with a living trust, a will and powers of attorney prepared there. Those documents are often still valid, but they may not match Texas rules, your new Texas home, or your current wishes. Texas also treats property differently from California in areas such as homestead protection and transfer on death deeds. If you kept property in California, that property is still governed by California law. We review your existing documents and tell you what to keep, what to update and what to replace.

Points worth knowing in Austin

• Travis County has a probate court. A current will, and where it fits a trust or transfer on death deed, can make the process easier for your family.
• If your trust holds California property you kept, we check that the trust and deeds still work as intended.
• Texas is a community property state, and your new home should be titled with that in mind.

What we prepare

Living trusts and wills, financial powers of attorney, health care directives, and help with probate and trust administration.
