HOUSTON, Texas - Houston estate planning attorneys at The Law Office of Whitney L. Thompson, PLLC ( ) announced a comprehensive trust-focused initiative designed to help Texas families protect assets, streamline administration, and safeguard confidentiality. Led by attorney Whitney L. Thompson, the firm is expanding client resources on revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and testamentary trusts, with an emphasis on correct funding procedures and practical implementation within Texas law.

The initiative responds to growing demand for guidance on when a trust is preferable to a will and how to structure a plan that meets family goals. Houston estate planning attorneys at the firm will provide tailored trust strategies that address probate avoidance, cross-state property coordination, timed distributions for minors, and creditor-resilience features permitted by statute. The firm's program includes checklists for retitling real estate, bank and brokerage accounts, business interests, and high-value personal property so that trust documents function as intended from day one.

A central message of the campaign is that a trust without funding fails to deliver its intended benefits. The firm's materials outline step-by-step retitling actions, sample assignment language for personal property, and coordination tips for institutional accounts. Houston estate planning attorneys will also highlight when wills continue to play a role, including pour-over provisions, guardianship nominations, and testamentary trusts that activate through probate. Clients will receive comparison charts explaining cost, timing, privacy, and control differences between wills and trusts, along with planning scenarios for high net worth households, families with minor children, and owners of properties located in multiple states.

Whitney L. Thompson notes that privacy remains a priority for many Texans. Trust-centered plans keep asset lists and beneficiary terms out of public probate files and allow for conditional distributions based on milestones such as graduation or health and housing needs. The firm's education series will include small-group workshops in Houston and individualized consultations that review asset inventories, title documents, and beneficiary designations to align accounts and real property with the selected planning structure.
