Life is unpredictable — even the best laid plans can go awry. In some situations that you encounter, it may be necessary to rely on the professional services of a legal expert and representative from Robert J. Anderson PLLC Law Firm. Here are four of the most common situations that may require a lawyer here in the state of Texas:

Couple in counseling before divorce

Divorce

Ideally, when facing a divorce, couples will agree to split amicably and mutually agree on the details of their separation. In these cases, a lawyer is rarely required. However, legal representation is very wise in cases where there are disagreements involving property, investments, support, child custody, and other relevant issues. Once a divorce is finalized, those terms are binding and can only be changed by returning to the courtroom. Relying on a good lawyer from the start can help provide the most mutually beneficial outcome for both parties.

Creating a Will and/or Trust

Nobody really enjoys thinking about the legal issues that may arise following their death, but a wise person will be adequately prepared for how their assets will be handled after they’ve passed away. You can save your family from potential legal disputes and problems by creating a will and trust. This is especially relevant if you have children, as they will most likely be the beneficiaries of your assets. Prepare a will and trust with our legal team, and your children will be thankful when the time comes to utilize them, knowing that even after you’re gone, you’re still caring for them.
