Key Takeaways:
- The Family Care Program is an exclusive membership that keeps your estate plan current through ongoing updates, asset alignment, and family education.
- Families benefit from flat-fee support, regular reviews, and direct access to legal guidance without surprise costs.
- The program ensures that your legacy evolves with life’s changes by focusing on relationships, clarity, and long-term protection.
Every family’s story is unique, and so are their planning needs. Yet traditional estate planning often takes a one-size-fits-all approach, leaving families without the ongoing guidance required to adapt as life changes. That gap leaves too many loved ones vulnerable to unnecessary risks.
At Davidek Law Firm, we created the Family Care Program (FCP) to bridge this gap. Instead of leaving families with static documents, FCP offers an ongoing membership that keeps your plan alive and relevant. It provides the support, updates, and guidance you need so your estate plan evolves right alongside your life.
Why the Family Care Program Exists
Life moves fast, and your family’s needs change just as quickly. When you first created your estate plan, your children might have been young, your assets different, and your goals focused on immediate protection.
Now, as your teenagers prepare for college and your financial picture has evolved, that original plan may no longer serve your family’s best interests. Major life events like children reaching adulthood, changes in income, or shifts in family dynamics can create gaps in your protection that leave your loved ones vulnerable.
A Membership Model for Long-Term Security
Instead of the traditional “one-and-done” approach, FCP is structured as an ongoing membership. This means you have access to continuous updates, reviews, and support year after year, providing consistency and peace of mind as your circumstances change.
Transparency and Predictability
FCP is built around a flat annual fee rather than unpredictable hourly billing. This model makes it easy to budget for your estate planning needs and removes hesitation about reaching out for guidance when questions arise.
Focus on Relationships, Not Just Documents
Estate planning is about people, not paperwork. FCP prioritizes building a lasting relationship with your family so that guidance is based on your evolving values, goals, and priorities. The program is designed to grow with you, not just sit in a drawer.
The FCP was created to solve a problem families often don’t recognize until it’s too late: estate planning is not a one-time event. A single set of documents can quickly become outdated as laws, finances, and family dynamics change. This program ensures your plan continues to work for you as life evolves.
Inside the Exclusive Family Care Program Membership
The Family Care Program is built around essential components that work together to give your family lasting protection. First, the estate planning process guides you step by step through creating a personalized plan that reflects your wishes. Second, the asset alignment process ensures that your accounts, property, and policies are correctly titled and coordinated with that plan so it functions exactly as intended.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
The Estate Planning Process
Each stage of the planning journey is structured to give your family clarity and confidence:
- Introductory Call: A short phone or Zoom call to understand your estate planning needs and determine if the program is the right fit. If it isn’t, you’ll still receive referrals so your family’s needs are met.
- Initial Meeting: A two-hour session where your goals, questions, and concerns are explored in depth. Together, we design a customized plan that reflects your family’s values and priorities.
- Engagement: Once you decide to move forward, future appointments are scheduled and payment arrangements are finalized. This step ensures a smooth continuation of the process.
- Document Review: A dedicated meeting to go over your drafted estate plan, make any adjustments, and confirm it reflects your wishes before signing.
- Signing Meeting: You’ll finalize your documents with guidance through every signature, leaving with a complete, enforceable plan.
Asset Alignment
Even the most carefully designed estate plan can fall short if your assets aren’t properly aligned with it. The Family Care Program includes this critical step to make sure every account, policy, and title is consistent with your plan.
- Reviewing Your Assets: Together, we review all accounts, policies, and property information you’ve provided, ensuring nothing important is overlooked.
- Asset Alignment Signing: Legal documents are prepared and signed to align your assets with your estate plan. You’ll also receive clear instructions for your financial institutions, making implementation simple.
- Verification: After 8–12 weeks, we confirm with your financial institutions that ownership or beneficiary changes have been completed correctly. This step provides peace of mind that everything is in place and functioning as intended.
The Family Connect Meeting: Preparing Loved Ones for the Future
As part of the Family Care Program, the Family Connect Meeting ensures your loved ones understand how your estate plan works. After signing, this session gives them clarity about their roles and responsibilities so there’s no confusion if the plan needs to be carried out.
The meeting lasts about an hour to an hour and a half and can be scheduled anytime. It can also be repeated when life circumstances change, making it a flexible way to keep your family prepared and confident.
By combining these pillars, the FCP transforms estate planning into a living system that continues to protect your family long after the documents are signed.

Family Care Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Many families have questions about how comprehensive estate planning support works and whether a membership approach truly benefits their unique situation. This section helps clarify how the FCP differs from traditional estate planning and supports Texas families through life’s changes.
What makes the Family Care Program membership different from a standard estate plan?
Unlike standard estate plans that focus primarily on asset distribution after death, this membership provides continuous support throughout your lifetime. While a standard estate plan is created once and often sits unchanged for years, the membership ensures your plan grows and adapts with your family.
How does the membership keep my estate plan and assets up to date?
Your membership includes regular annual reviews where your attorney examines changes in your life, family structure, and financial situation. Any necessary legal document revisions are completed at no additional cost, and your asset alignment is reviewed to ensure all accounts and property reflect your current wishes. This proactive approach prevents the common problem of outdated beneficiary designations or misaligned assets that can create complications for families.
How does the Family Care Program adapt to major life changes such as divorce, new children, or relocation?
The membership is designed to respond quickly to significant life events that affect your estate plan. When major changes occur, whether it’s a new grandchild, a child’s marriage, job changes, or health concerns, your legal team updates your plans and strategies accordingly.
This flexibility means your plan remains relevant and protective regardless of how your circumstances evolve over time.
What support do my loved ones receive through this membership?
Family members gain access to educational resources, workshops, and direct communication with your legal team when questions arise. The program includes Family Connect Meetings where your loved ones learn about their roles and responsibilities, reducing confusion and stress during difficult times.
Your family also receives sustained guidance about asset management and can access cloud-based storage for important papers.
Is the membership cost-effective for families in the long run?
The $1,500 annual membership fee typically costs less than what families would pay for individual legal consultations and plan modifications over time, similar to how you budget for annual insurance premiums to protect your family.
When you consider the value of continuous legal advice, complimentary plan revisions, annual asset reviews, and family education, the membership provides substantial savings.
Most importantly, it prevents costly mistakes that can occur when estate plans become outdated or assets are improperly aligned, potentially saving thousands in probate complications or family disputes.
