Welcome to the December Issue of the Texas Elder Law E-Letter

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Our next free Estate Planning Essentials Workshop will be on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. until noon at the conference center at 12201 Merit Drive in Dallas.  If you would like to attend, call 214-720-0102 or sign up online.

Attendees often ask questions about estate planning, probate, Medicaid and Veterans benefits. We proceed to answer the questions over the course of the workshop (although there will be a presentation also).

The Dallas Walk to End Alzheimer’s took place on Saturday, November 1, 2025 and it was a huge success.  Thank you to everyone who participated! As always, a special “thank you” to the Percy Fund and Don Crawford for their generous support each year to Michael’s Marchers to start the campaign off right.  We continue to march forward (one step at a time) toward a world without Alzheimer’s. If you would like to contribute, donations are still being accepted.  Click here.

Our newest articles and podcasts are now available on YouTube or on our website. Let us know if you like it.  We also have a new audio visual podcast that has a pie chart on what happens to your real estate and personal property if you die without a will (you might be surprised).  Click here to listen and see it.

Categorized topics of our prior shows can be heard as podcasts on SoundCloud, Spotify and Apple. Subscribe to be notified of future releases.
