Planning with dignity and independence
Our team’s community work has included helping people access planning-document resources. TCF brings that practical support into an educational pathway for older adults, caregivers and families.
Powers of attorney
Explore resources about financial and medical powers of attorney, organize the information you want to discuss and prepare questions for a qualified professional. Choosing who may act for you and what authority to give deserves individual legal guidance.
Living wills and basic wills
Find educational resources about living wills or advance directives and basic wills. These documents serve different purposes. We can help locate published resources and organize your questions; an attorney can advise on your circumstances and prepare or review legal documents.
Transfer on death deeds
A transfer on death deed is one possible estate-planning tool. We help people locate Texas resources and prepare for a qualified legal consultation. Suitability, signing, recording, ownership and benefit implications require careful review. TCF does not promise that a deed will avoid every cost or protect eligibility for benefits.
Your wishes come first
This pathway is separate from fundraising. Help is not conditioned on leaving property or money to TCF. TCF does not provide individualized legal advice, draft customized legal instruments or verify their legal effectiveness. A notary’s stamp does not replace legal advice.
