Estate Planning Considerations Unique to Argyle

Property and land:
• Ranch and Acreage Property Succession Planning
• Mineral Rights Identification and Transfer Planning
• Agricultural Exemption Continuity Planning
Core planning documents:
• Wills and Revocable Living Trusts
• Powers of Attorney and Medical Directives
• Trust-Based Planning to Avoid Probate
Wealth and business transfer:
• Estate Tax Planning for High-Value Estates
• Business Succession Integration with Estate Plans
Roy G. Morris — Estate Planning Attorney for Argyle’s Acreage and Legacy Estates
Roy G. Morris is the estate planning attorney Argyle families turn to when their plan needs to account for more than a simple will — acreage, mineral rights, or a family business among them.
Before going to law school and eventually founding The Morris Legal Group, his training began at Arthur Andersen, one of the most respected accounting firms in the world, where he worked as a tax specialist evaluating exactly the kind of financial and asset structures estate plans are built to protect. He went on to earn his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law and a Master’s Degree in Taxation from DePaul University, then received two federal appointments — leading litigation teams that closed banking and lending institutions, and later developing the in-house litigation section of the FDIC.
For an Argyle family with agricultural land, mineral interests, or a business alongside their home, that means an estate plan that accounts for every asset class — not just the ones a generic template anticipates.

Frequently Asked Questions — Estate Planning Attorney in Argyle, TX
Acreage and ranch property often carry agricultural exemptions that can trigger a rollback tax if the land’s use changes after transfer, along with mineral rights that need to be inventoried as a separate asset class. A properly structured estate plan addresses both before they become a problem for your heirs.
Q: What should Argyle families with significant home values know about estate tax?
Argyle’s rapid growth and luxury new-construction market mean home values — and total estates — can approach or exceed the federal estate tax exemption more easily than families expect. Proactive tax planning, informed by Roy Morris’s Master’s Degree in Taxation, can meaningfully reduce that exposure.
Q: How does Argyle’s growth affect the need for estate planning?
As Argyle’s population and property values grow, existing estate plans drafted years ago often no longer reflect a family’s current asset picture. Families who have not reviewed their plan since before this growth phase should consider whether it still fits their situation.
