Texas estate planning attorney · Utah office
Texas estate planning attorney — a Utah lawyer licensed in Texas, so the work actually gets done there.
The office is in North Salt Lake. Jon is also licensed in Texas. Kids in Utah and parents in Houston — or a homestead you still own after you moved — shouldn’t mean two attorneys who never talk. One lawyer. One plan. Three states.
What Texas law means for your plan
Jon is licensed in Texas. The office is in North Salt Lake — 1010 North 500 East, Suite 200, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. Call or text (801) 872-9889. There isn’t a Texas storefront or a local Texas phone. That’s the point: you hire one Utah attorney who can actually do the Texas work.
This is for Utah families with parents or property in Texas, and for people who split time — a life on the Wasatch Front and a homestead you haven’t let go of. Kids here. Parents in Houston or Dallas. One coordinated plan, not two firms.
Texas is a community property state with an unlimited homestead exemption for qualifying property. Utah is not community property. If the family spans both, the plan has to respect those homestead rules and the Utah pieces — not treat them as the same file with a different cover.
Texas has specific rules around independent administration of estates, which can simplify probate when it’s set up properly. There is no state income tax or state estate tax. Federal estate tax thresholds still apply. Jon is licensed in Utah, Arizona, and Texas — those three only.
Every individual and joint plan is the same complete package — the documents, the funding work, the binder, and the follow-up emails. Joint plans cover both spouses. See what’s in every plan.
