Why is Protecting My Assets Important?

two kids and parents family photo

Imagine this scenario for a moment. A traumatic accident occurs, and you don’t have a will. If you have children, a home, a business, or other assets, the court will have to decide what happens to your hard-earned assets and the people you care most about in this world.

So often, many of us get caught up in the daily grind of work and life, and we don’t take the time to plan for the future and envision how our efforts might pay off and support our families later in life. Your family could stand to lose everything you worked for if you don’t make a choice to plan ahead.

If you have started building a life and growing your assets with kids, real estate investments, a business – or all of the above and more-protecting your assets is one of the best things you can do for your legacy and your family.

Years of experience matter when it comes to probate, litigation, and guardianship law. Experience gives you an edge that younger or less experienced attorneys don’t have when it comes to managing difficult situations.

Our seasoned probate attorneys with over 30 years of hands-on experience, including probate litigation expertise, are savvy and resourceful in building strong cases using effective problem-solving skills and insights. We manage challenges and disputes that arise with ease and finesse to get you closer to the finish line.

Every step we take is with purpose and intention to get you and your family results. When you choose to team up with The Hatchett Law Firm, you’re getting a partner that deals with tough situations head-on for better results and improved outcomes.

The Hatchett Law Firm’s Houston office is located about a mile away from Grady Park, 14 minutes away from Hermann Park Conservancy, and 25 miles away from George Bush Intercontinental Airport Houston (IAH).
