I own a business
Close the personal gaps. Then call us about the entity.
A will, durable POA, and directive cover your personal estate. But your LLC operating agreement, buy-sell, or corporate succession — the parts that decide what happens to your business if you die or are incapacitated — need a conversation, not a form.
Your recommended plan
Essentials Package
Simple Will, financial POA, medical POA, directive to physicians, HIPAA authorization, and declaration of guardian — the complete will-based starting point for most Texas adults.
- Texas courts don't automatically read your will into your LLC — your operating agreement controls.
- A solo-member LLC without a succession clause can be tied up for months while heirs wait.
- Get the personal plan done today (it's a form exercise), then pick up the entity work with Continuum.
Want to skip probate entirely?
Trust Plans start at $497.
A Revocable Living Trust keeps your estate out of probate, maintains privacy, and simplifies the transfer — three attorney-drafted tiers, delivered within one business day.
Compare Trust tiersTax-literate estate law from one attorney — not two people who blame each other.
Darryl V. Pratt is a dual-credentialed Texas attorney and licensed CPA. Most high-income Texans default to a generic estate attorney plus their existing CPA — and then discover mid-file that the two don't speak each other's language. Continuum Counsel eliminates that seam.
