Profile

Julie is a Shareholder in the firm’s Trusts & Estates section.  Her practice focuses on estate, gift, and generation-skipping tax planning as well as estate administration and related matters.  She handles matters such as the preparation of Wills and powers of attorney; the preparation of trust agreements; the probate of Wills and estate administration; and the preparation of federal gift and estate tax returns. 

As the mother of two young children, Julie appreciates that estate planning goals are often driven by concerns and motivations other than the avoidance of taxes.  She enjoys working with clients in all stages of life, including young families like hers. 

Julie is Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
