Estate Planning Attorney Serving Collin County and North Texas

Close to home, from Frisco to Princeton.

From our Frisco office, we help families across Collin County and North Texas put wills, trusts and probate in order, explaining every step in plain language so no one is left guessing what a document means or how to settle a loved one's affairs.

A Collin County Attorney You Can Get to Know

Choosing a lawyer is easier when you know who you will be working with and what to expect. Here is what families across North Texas can count on with us:

• Amy L. Jenkins has practiced law for more than 20 years, and she came to this work after probating her own grandmother's will.
• Every document and option is explained patiently in plain language, so you leave understanding your plan.
• A signed plan is the start of our relationship, and Amy stays available for your questions for years afterward.
• We plan for the whole family and every stage of life, from young children to aging parents.
• Amy is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Collin County Bar Association and the Collin County Women Lawyers Association.
  

Estate Planning and Probate Across Collin County

Collin County is home to most of the families we help. McKinney is the county seat, and estates for Collin County residents are probated at the Collin County Probate Court in McKinney.

Estate Planning Attorney in Frisco, TX

Frisco is where our office is, and many Frisco neighborhoods sit on either side of the Collin and Denton County line. For Frisco parents, we prepare wills and trusts that name a guardian for the children, along with the powers of attorney and medical directives that let a spouse step in without asking a court for permission. When a Frisco family loses someone, we also guide them through probate in whichever county their loved one called home.

Estate Planning and Probate in McKinney

The Collin County Probate Court is right in McKinney, but knowing which filing fits your family's situation is another matter. We help McKinney residents with wills, living trusts and the probate of a loved one's estate, and we explain each path before anything is filed.

Estate Planning and Probate in Plano

Plano stretches across Collin County with its western edge in Denton County, so the right probate court depends on where your loved one lived. We guide Plano families through probate after a death, help others plan so their children can avoid that process, and walk through guardianship for an aging parent along with the less restrictive options Texas courts consider first.

Estate Planning Attorney for Allen, TX Families

As an estate planning attorney for Allen, TX families, we often sit down with parents who have young kids and teenagers under the same roof. A plan for an Allen household usually starts with a will or revocable living trust, then adds the documents parents need once a child turns 18: a durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney and a HIPAA authorization. Those three documents let you help your adult child through an emergency without going to court first.

Estate Planning Attorney in Fairview, TX

For Fairview families planning for retirement or caring for aging parents, we bring estate planning and elder law together in one plan. That can include powers of attorney, Medicaid planning for long-term care, and wills and trusts that pass a home and savings to the next generation. When someone in the family can no longer make decisions alone, we explain guardianship and its alternatives so you can choose the right amount of help.

Estate Planning Attorney for Princeton, TX

Families in Princeton, on the eastern side of Collin County, get the same unhurried time with Amy as a family that lives down the street from our Frisco office. We build plans that cover everyone in the household, from a Declaration of Guardian for young children to special needs planning for a son or daughter who will need support as an adult. Princeton estates are probated at the Collin County Probate Court in McKinney, and we can guide your family through that process when the time comes.

Serving Denton County Families in Aubrey and Little Elm

Aubrey and Little Elm are in Denton County, where estates are probated through the Denton County Probate Court. We help Denton County families with the same planning and probate work we do across Collin County.

Wills and Probate for Aubrey, TX Families

When a loved one in Aubrey passes, one of the first questions is whether the estate needs full court administration at all. Depending on whether there is a will and what the estate holds, a Texas estate may qualify for a simpler path, such as a muniment of title or a small estate affidavit, and we will explain which one fits. For Aubrey residents planning ahead, a will or living trust can spare your family those decisions.

Estate Planning Attorney in Little Elm, TX

Little Elm borders Frisco, so our office is close by for families there. When a parent in Little Elm needs a plan and the adult children live in McKinney, Plano or elsewhere in North Texas, we work with the whole family so everyone understands the documents and who is responsible for what. That can mean a new will or trust, durable and medical powers of attorney, or elder law planning for the care ahead.
