Life doesn’t wait for the right legal documents. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, need to settle a family member’s estate, or want to plan for your future, Donna M. Spicer, Attorney-at-Law, PLLC is here to guide you through every step, without the stress of court battles. I provide non-litigation legal services in Gillespie County, TX, focusing on clear, personal, and affordable solutions for individuals and families navigating estate planning and probate.

Personalized Estate Planning for Families and Individuals

With over 30 years of experience, I help clients prepare for life’s “what ifs” by offering detailed and thoughtful estate planning. My services are designed for middle-income individuals and families who want peace of mind knowing their loved ones and assets will be protected.
Explanation of Terms
My estate planning services include:
Wills
I draft wills clearly stating your wishes about how your assets should be distributed and who should manage your estate.
Trusts
I create trusts tailored to your situation, whether for asset protection, avoiding probate, or providing for a loved one over time.
Powers of Attorney
I prepare financial powers of attorney so someone you trust can manage your affairs if you cannot.
Medical Directives
I help you write out your healthcare wishes so your family isn’t confused.
Medical Power of Attorney
I designate a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if needed.
Declaration of Guardian
I prepare documents naming who you want to serve as guardian should the need arise.
These documents are crafted to meet your specific needs while following Texas law. I focus on smaller estates under $6 million, where the personal connection and efficiency truly matter.

Uncontested Probate and Alternatives to Probate

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the added stress of navigating the legal process. I focus on helping clients handle uncontested probate and probate avoidance options in a way that’s as simple and affordable as possible.
Independent Administration
When there's a will and no dispute, I help executors manage and settle the estate without unnecessary court oversight.
Muniment of Title
This is a quicker and less expensive alternative to full probate for simpler estates with a valid will.
Small Estate Affidavit
For qualifying estates without a will, I guide families through this affidavit process to legally transfer assets.
Affidavit of Heirship
I assist heirs in documenting family history and heirship when there's no will, helping establish legal property rights.
Proceeding to Declare Heirship
For more complex situations, I represent clients in court to establish rightful heirs when the deceased left no will.
Each case is different, and I take the time to understand your unique family structure, concerns, and goals before recommending the best legal solution.

Legal Guidance That Comes to You
