Why Frisco households plan now

Many Frisco households have built something significant in a short time. Equity compensation has grown. Homes have appreciated. Careers have moved families across state lines, and many households are blended.

Each of those facts adds a layer a standard plan does not address. A template can name a beneficiary. It rarely coordinates stock options, a business interest, an out-of-state history and children from more than one relationship.

Not just documents. A strategy for everything you've built. Your plan should fit the way your family and assets actually work together.

Consider planning now if you:

  • Hold stock options, RSUs or other equity compensation
  • Practice medicine or work in finance, with income and assets that need coordination
  • Own a business or a share of one
  • Moved to Texas and have documents written for another state
  • Have a blended family or children from prior relationships
  • Own a home that represents a large part of your net worth

What your plan can include

  • A living trust to help your family avoid a full probate process
  • A will with guardian nominations for minor children
  • Financial and medical powers of attorney
  • Provisions for a spouse and children from a prior marriage
  • Planning around equity compensation and beneficiary designations
  • Coordination with business ownership and succession wishes
  • Instructions for your home and other significant assets

How probate works for Frisco residents

Frisco sits in both Collin and Denton counties. Probate generally goes through the county where the person lived, so your home address decides which court applies.

For Collin County, that is the Collin County Probate Court at 2100 Bloomdale Rd. in McKinney. Uncontested matters are often heard by Zoom. For Denton County, matters go to one of the two Denton County probate courts at 3900 Morse St. in Denton.

Probate is public and can be slow. Our guide walks through the steps: Collin and Denton County probate guide.

FAQs

Is Frisco in Collin County or Denton County?

Both. Frisco spans Collin and Denton counties, and probate typically goes through the county where the person lived. We can confirm which applies to your address.

How does estate planning work with stock options and RSUs?

Equity compensation often has its own plan rules, vesting terms and beneficiary designations. A plan can coordinate these with your trust and wishes. The details depend on your employer's plan documents, which we review in your Strategy Session.

I moved to Frisco from another state. Is my old plan still enough?

Not necessarily. Documents written elsewhere may not fit Texas law or your current family and assets. We review what you have and design a plan for your life in Texas. See our relocation guide for more.

Can I meet virtually, and do you work in Spanish?

Yes to both. You can meet at our Frisco office or by video, and Attorney Alers works in English and Spanish. Call (469) 207-1515 or book your Strategy Session online.
