Your Legacy
Your legacy is what you leave behind to your loved ones and your community. It is more than just money, property, or possessions. It is who you are and how you will be remembered.
There are many moving parts to an estate plan, and every estate plan is different. After a comprehensive review of your assets, your wishes for your family, and your goals, in other words – your legacy, we design an estate plan specifically for you. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you have taken a giant step towards protecting your family and preserving their inheritance.
Everything changes when a loved one passes away. How are you supposed to know what kind of help you need when you’ve never gone through this before? We are here to guide you. We will work with you to determine the easiest and most cost-effective way to transfer the deceased person’s assets. We try to minimize court involvement, but if it becomes necessary to go through the court’s probate procedure, we will assist you in fulfilling the court’s requirements.
For many of us, our retirement plans are our most valuable assets. But so often they are subject to unnecessary tax and waste after the death of the retirement account owner because beneficiary designations were not coordinated with the overall estate plan. We believe that planning with retirement benefits is part of the big picture when it comes to designing your estate plan.

What People Say.
Professional, efficient, user-friendly.Florence LoganOctober 16, 2023 Knowledgeable and helpfulTodd PartridgeAugust 22, 2023 I’ve trusted Galligan Law Firm with many of my clients and always had excellent feed back even when dealing with difficult situations. Sadly I recently lost my Mother and they made the probate process go smoothly with little effort on my families end.Don ElsterJuly 29, 2023 Where shall I start??? My younger brother from Houston passed away unexpectedly at age 65 and I live in Arizona and was next of kin. I was very fortunate to find the Galligan Law Firm and Kevin Hoerner and Team! Because there was no will, we had to go through the Texas Probate Court. This experience has been one of the most traumatic times of my life and I will tell you that Galligan Law Firm walked beside me every single step of the way. Words cannot convey the gratitude I have for the professional, kind, prompt, and courteous legal service the Team has provided to me. Now on the tail end of my Independent Administrative Duty, I highly recommend this excellent law firm to anyone and everyone seeking estate law counsel.Debbie PhillipsJuly 18, 2023 Exceptional professional estate planning. This my third will and estate planning. The Galligan Law Firm is the most thorough with attention to detail unsurpassed by the previous firms.Glenn KeenerFebruary 6, 2023
