Giving back
In your plan, any charitable gifts are your own choice. Our list of Islamic charities is alphabetical and is not a recommendation.
For every Guided Trust purchased, McDaniel Estate Planning donates $75 of its own funds to Jabal Foundation's Legacy Waqf, which supports orphan development and ongoing meal distribution. The donation is made by the Firm and is not part of your fee. Leonard McDaniel serves without compensation as secretary of Jabal Foundation's board.
Drafted by a licensed Texas attorney, reviewed before they reach your inbox, and signed in front of a notary we arrange for you.

Common concerns, answered.
No. Your trust is revocable, and you remain the trustee while you are alive and competent. You keep full control of your home — live in it, refinance it, sell it, or transfer it just as you do now. The trust changes how the property is held, not who controls it.
No. Transferring your homestead into a revocable living trust does not increase your property taxes. We also provide a step-by-step guide, with visual aids, to ensure your Texas homestead exemption remains in place after the transfer.
No. Federal law (the Garn–St. Germain Act) protects transfers of a primary residence into a revocable living trust. As long as you remain a beneficiary and continue making payments, lenders cannot call the loan due solely because of the transfer.
Yes. Your trust is drafted and supervised by a licensed Texas attorney and structured under Texas law. It is a legally binding estate planning instrument. A properly funded trust is designed to avoid probate for the assets it holds.
No. A properly structured trust is designed to avoid probate for the assets it holds. It reduces court involvement, and preserves privacy.
