Redding Law Office

To understand why I am so determined to offer excellent, personalized service to my clients, it helps to know a little bit about my experiences before forming Redding Law Office PLLC. My legal career began at a large, voluminous law firm. But I quickly realized that, while volume work offers great job stability, it takes away from the services the client is actually paying for.

I was born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, where I learned the importance of hard work, dedication, and loyalty. Today those traits extend not only through my familial and work relationships, but also through the relationships I share with my clients. The path that got me to where I am now, though, had its fair share of twists and turns.

Younger adults, ages 18-34, are now 63% more likely to have a will than they were in 2020.

Determining how you would like your estate, assets, and property to be handled upon your death can save time, money, and stress for your loved ones. According to a 2021 Wills and Estate Planning Study by Caring.com, about one out of three American adults (32.9%) have a will or estate plan.

Trusts are very versatile estate planning tools. There are many different trusts that each serve a different purpose and give a different benefit to you and your estate plan. Basically, a trust only exists on paper and has four requirements: trustee; trust property; trust document; and known or discernible beneficiaries.
