Practical and Personal Legal Services in Gillespie County, TX

Legal planning isn’t just for the wealthy. It’s for anyone who wants to protect their family, property, and peace of mind. At Donna M. Spicer, Attorney-at-Law, PLLC, I provide legal services in Gillespie County, TX, focused on estate planning, probate, and guardianship—so your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected, and your affairs are handled properly.

Estate Planning and Legal Consultation

Alleviate any concerns you may have about how your money and personal items are allocated in the event of your death or if you become incapacitated. I am dedicated to helping clients accurately draft a will or trust. We also walk you through the steps for probate and legally designate who receives custody of your children.
My estate planning services begin with a one-on-one legal consultation to fully understand your needs. I work with you to prepare clear, legally sound documents that protect your assets and give your family peace of mind. These include:
Wills
Ensure your belongings go to the right people, and that guardians are named for minor children.
Powers of Attorney
Appoint someone to handle your financial matters if you cannot.
Medical Directives
Make your healthcare preferences known in advance.
Medical Power of Attorney
Choose a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf.
Declaration of Guardian
Name the person you want to act as guardian before a need arises.
I guide my clients through each step, providing legal services in Gillespie County, TX, with care and respect.

Trusts and Probate Services

Working with me can help you avoid probate. This includes handling the assets of a special-needs person and Medicaid planning. Trusts are another way to manage property now and distribute it efficiently later. I create revocable and irrevocable trusts based on your goals and circumstances.
When probate is necessary, I walk clients through the right process. Probate involves transferring an individual's assets to their heirs. This can happen with or without a will; you typically do not need to attend court. I help you determine the best course of action, whether independent administration, muniment of title, or another method.
From start to finish, I provide probate services and legal consultation that are straightforward and cost-effective.

Guardianships for Adults and Children

Occasionally, an adult is unable to manage their affairs because of a traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s, or some other debilitating situation. Guardianship allows an individual to make decisions for the person in question and applies to a child until they are 18. It includes the care and financial matters of the child, as well.
I assist with establishing legal guardianship for both children and adults. Whether helping a parent plan for a child’s care or ensuring the protection of an incapacitated adult, I provide the proper paperwork, file with the court, and guide families through this sensitive process.
