I founded McGarvey Estate Law with a simple conviction: estate planning should be a strategic partnership, not a transactional service. My background in finance taught me to think systematically about wealth preservation and transfer — skills I now apply to protecting Texas families' legacies.
That analytical foundation, combined with my legal training, allows me to see estate planning through a unique lens — one focused on practical outcomes, not just legal formalities.
I work with a select number of families each quarter, ensuring every client receives my personal attention. If you're looking for a partner who will take the time to truly understand your family's situation, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
Our Philosophy
A Different Approach to Estate Planning
Most firms optimize for volume. We optimize for outcomes. Here's what that means for families who work with us.
Select Client Relationships
I work with a limited number of families each quarter. This isn't about exclusivity for its own sake — it's about ensuring every client receives the attention their legacy deserves.
Your Time Respected
Our digital-first process eliminates unnecessary office visits. Complete your discovery questionnaire from home, and we'll handle the rest with scheduled touchpoints that fit your life.
Strategic, Not Transactional
I don't produce documents — I create solutions. Every plan is built around your specific family dynamics, assets, and goals, with careful thought given to scenarios others might miss.
Clarity at Every Step
No legalese. No surprises. You'll understand exactly what your documents do, why each provision matters, and how to keep your plan current as life changes.
"Your family's legacy deserves more than a template. It deserves intention."
Common Questions
Estate planning can feel complex. Here are answers to questions I hear most often.
A will only takes effect after you pass away and must go through probate — a public court process that can take months and cost thousands in fees. A revocable living trust, by contrast, allows your assets to transfer privately and immediately to your beneficiaries, bypassing probate entirely. During your lifetime, you maintain complete control and can modify or revoke the trust at any time. For most Texas families with real estate or meaningful assets, a trust-based plan offers significant advantages in privacy, speed, and cost savings for your heirs.
