Elder Law Attorney in Round Rock, TX

Estate Planning & Incapacity Planning for Williamson County Families Since 2013

Planning for aging, incapacity, or a loved one’s declining health is one of the most important things a family can do, and it’s almost always easier before a crisis forces the issue. At The J.D. Wilson Law Firm, we handle elder law matters for individuals and families throughout Round Rock and Williamson County, drawing on an established estate planning and probate practice to give clients one attorney relationship for the full range of aging-related legal needs. Joshua D. Wilson has practiced in Travis and Williamson counties since 2013 and brings that local knowledge to every elder law matter we handle. We serve clients in English and Portuguese, and flexible payment plans are available.

If you’re ready to talk through your family’s situation, call us at (512) 355-1161 or reach out through our online contact form to schedule a consultation.

Elder Law Services We Handle

Elder law covers a wide range of legal needs that arise as people age or face serious illness. Our practice addresses the documents and strategies that protect older adults and their families before a crisis, and helps navigate the legal system when one arrives.

Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning for Seniors

A current will and a properly structured trust form the foundation of any elder law plan. We draft and update these documents to reflect changing family circumstances, asset levels, and long-term care goals, so your wishes are documented and your estate can avoid unnecessary delays or costs at the Williamson County Courts at Law.

Durable Power of Attorney & Advance Directives

A durable power of attorney allows a trusted person to manage financial and legal affairs if you become incapacitated. Without one, your family may have no choice but to pursue guardianship through the courts, a formal and often expensive process. A medical power of attorney and directive to physicians document your healthcare preferences and name the person who speaks for you when you can’t. We prepare both sets of documents as part of a complete elder law plan.

Guardianship

When incapacity planning documents aren’t in place, Texas families may need a court-supervised guardianship to manage an adult loved one’s affairs. We can guide families through that process when it becomes necessary, and we work to help clients put documents in place early so court involvement doesn’t become the only option.

Asset Protection & Medicaid Planning

Long-term care is expensive, and Texas Medicaid programs for nursing facility care come with both income and asset eligibility requirements. We help families understand how these rules apply to their situation and develop strategies to protect as much of the estate as possible within the bounds of the law. This kind of planning works best when started well before care is needed.

Special Needs Planning

Families supporting a loved one with a disability can use a special needs trust to set aside funds without disqualifying that person from need-based government benefits. We draft these trusts as part of a broader elder law or estate plan.
