Houston Estate Planning Attorney Helps Texans Without Heirs Protect Their Legacy

Houston, Texas Sep 19, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - What happens to your money, property, or investments if you pass away with no spouse, no children, and no clear heirs? Its a question more Texans are asking; and one that Attorney Udo Ezeamama is helping them answer with clarity and purpose.

At the Law Office of Udo Ezeamama, individuals without traditional heirs are discovering that estate planning isnt just about inheritance; its about preserving values, purpose, and control. Whether single, child-free, estranged from relatives, or simply unsure of next steps, more people are turning to Attorney Ezeamama to ensure their estate doesnt end up in the hands of the government.

Most people assume their assets will naturally go to a spouse or family member, says Ezeamama, but in the absence of a will or trust, Texas law decides who gets whatand that often doesnt align with the persons wishes.

When no legal heirs are found under intestacy laws, the state follows a strict order of succession, from spouses and children down to distant cousins. If no relatives are located, the estate goes through a process called escheat, where the government absorbs the decedents property. This includes real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal items.

Rather than let a lifetime of work and assets vanish into state hands, clients are choosing options like:

• Naming close friends as beneficiaries

• Donating to charities, churches, or nonprofits

• Establishing scholarships or memorial funds
