Firm: Akiens Law Firm PLLC
6606 FM 1488 , Magnolia , Texas 77354
Practice Areas: Business & Commercial, Corporate Taxation, Estate Planning, Trusts
In my practice I specialize in the areas of asset protection, estate planning (wills and trusts), business planning (formation, mergers, acquisitions, sales, spin-offs, conversions), probate (independent administration, dependent administration, muniment of title, small estate affidavit, affidavit of heirship), and tax (estate and gift taxation along with tax analysis in the area of business).. I love what I do. When I am analyzing a client's estate I look at all their assets as a giant puzzle in which I try to place each asset in an optimum position for maximum asset protection while having a minimal tax impact on their passing. It does not matter what size estate a client has as I am able to minimize any estate tax impact while at the same time making sure the assets going to the client's beneficiarie are protected from creditors, kept as separate property in the event of a divorce, bypass probate, and have minimal tax impact upon the death of such beneficiary.

Practice Areas: Estate Planning
I have a wealth of estate planning, elder law experience and estate administration experience, having practiced in these areas for over 15 years.. I work closely with clients to craft estate plans which address their concerns including probate avoidance, tax planning, asset protection and elder law planning. The key to a good estate plan is to tailor the plan to your specific goals and implementing it ahead of time. I have unfortunately worked with many individuals who do not plan ahead, and the family is stuck paying for medical care out-of-pocket or suffering through the long probate process. I can use my broad experience to build an estate plan right for you and your family, serve your goals, help obtain Medicaid to access important long-term care and nursing home benefits, and make the estate administration process as smooth as possible.

Practice Areas: Estate Planning
My practice is based on a different way of thinking about client relationships and how to best serve my clients’ legal needs.. Over my 38 years of practice, I’ve accumulated a broad range of experiences representing businesses and individuals. My passion for working with small businesses developed from helping family owned companies move forward from litigation-intensive to preventative, best practices footings. Proactive, preventative law became a meaningful practice for me as my litigation clients frequently sought continued representation in order to develop litigation prevention strategies. That paved a pathway to shift my practice focus. And, now, I’ve built a boutique office practice with a focus on providing key legal services to small business owners and successful families.. I’m a big believer in the value of preventative law, which I deliver on a concierge basis, including routine legal checkups at an affordable rate. At my law office, initial consultations are always “Free to Talk”. I take the time to meet and get to know potential clients and discuss their needs before my time clock starts to run.. An umbrella of core legal services is available through my law office. My goal is to offer clients value-driven results. At the end of my consultations, I’ll recommend the services that I can provide to develop and maintain your small business's or family's good legal health. And, I’ll quote a clear fee for each service.
