Estate Planning Attorney in Corinth, TX — Protecting the Life You've Built
Corinth is the kind of place people move to with purpose — a small, quietly prosperous city nestled between Lewisville and Denton where neighbors know each other, families put down roots, and the pace of life allows you to focus on what matters most. That intentional community life is worth protecting.
The team at The Morris Legal Group serves residents throughout Corinth and the surrounding Denton County area with estate planning services that are as thoughtful and personal as the community itself. We help Corinth families plan for the future with clarity and confidence, knowing their assets, their wishes, and their loved ones are legally protected.
Why Corinth Families Need a Proper Estate Plan
Many Corinth residents have built comfortable lives — a home, savings, retirement accounts — without a legal plan that protects those assets and directs how they are handled when they are no longer here. Texas law has its own answer in the form of intestacy statutes, but that answer rarely aligns perfectly with a family’s actual wishes.
A properly executed estate plan ensures your Corinth home passes to who you intend, your retirement assets reach your chosen beneficiaries, your minor children have designated guardians, and the people you love are spared unnecessary legal complexity during an already difficult time.

Roy G. Morris — Corinth’s Estate Planning Attorney with a Rare Dual Perspective
Roy G. Morris brings something to clients that very few attorneys in the DFW market can offer: a perspective trained simultaneously in accounting, taxation, and law — and a career history that reflects how that training performs under real-world pressure.
Before founding The Morris Legal Group, Mr. Morris worked as a tax specialist at Arthur Andersen, one of the most prestigious accounting firms in the world. He earned his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law and a Master’s Degree in Taxation from DePaul University. He then received dual federal government appointments — first to lead litigation teams closing banking and lending institutions and then to develop the in-house litigation section of the FDIC. These were not honorary titles. They were institutional appointments made because the legal and financial communities trusted his judgment with matters of significant consequence.
What this means for your Corinth estate plan: Mr. Morris approaches every estate plan with the full weight of his accounting, tax law, and legal training — building a plan not just around what you own today but around the financial and tax implications of how your assets are held, titled, and transferred. Most attorneys know what the law requires. Roy G. Morris knows what the law requires and what every decision costs, saves, and means at tax time.

Frequently Asked Questions — Estate Planning Attorney in Corinth, TX
Q: What happens to my home in Corinth if I die without a will in Texas?
If you own a home in Corinth and die without a will, Texas intestacy law determines who inherits your property — and the result may not match your intentions. For married homeowners, the outcome depends on whether the property is community or separate property and whether there are children from prior relationships. For unmarried homeowners, property passes to relatives in a statutory order that may include people you would not have chosen. A will ensures your Corinth home passes exactly to whom you intend.
Q: Can I write my own will in Texas without an attorney?
Texas law does allow a handwritten (holographic) will — entirely in the testator’s own handwriting and signed — without witnesses or notarization. However, handwritten wills are frequently challenged in probate court, often incomplete, and regularly fail to address important issues like successor executors, trust provisions for minor children, or specific asset distributions. A professionally drafted will costs far less than the legal disputes a defective will creates and provides far greater protection for your family.
