Estate Planning Attorney for Aubrey, TX Families
Strategy-first wills and living trusts for Aubrey homeowners and parents, in English and Spanish. Book your Alers Legacy Strategy Session.
Why Aubrey families plan now
Aubrey is in Denton County, and it is a growing community. New neighborhoods have brought many families who recently bought a home and are settling in.
A new home, a mortgage and young children are all good reasons to plan. If something happened to you, who would care for your kids? Who would manage the house and accounts until they are grown?
If those answers are not in writing, Texas law supplies them. We help you choose your own. New to the area? See our guide for new homeowners.
What a plan can include
- A will or living trust, chosen for your family. See will vs. living trust in Texas.
- Guardian nominations for minor children
- Powers of attorney and medical directives
- Planning for blended families. See our blended family guide.
- Trust funding, so your home and accounts actually follow the plan

How probate works for Aubrey residents
Probate is generally filed in the county where the person lived. For Aubrey residents, that is Denton County, where probate matters go to one of the two Denton County probate courts at 3900 Morse St., Denton.
Probate is public and takes time. A well-built plan can reduce what has to go through court. Our Collin and Denton County probate guide explains the basics.
