The Family Care Program offers a subscription-based estate planning model that adapts to your family and provides continuous legal support. With a flat annual fee, the FCP eliminates unexpected legal costs, providing predictable pricing and unlimited consultations for families seeking comprehensive protection. Proactive updates, personalized guidance, and legacy protection ensure your plan stays strong as life changes.
Estate planning should be more than a one-time task. As families grow, children head to college, or financial priorities shift, a plan created years ago may no longer reflect your needs. Many parents wonder if their loved ones would truly be protected if something unexpected happened tomorrow.
At Davidek Law Firm, our Family Care Program (FCP) replaces one-time planning with a subscription-based partnership. By offering continuous guidance, proactive updates, and predictable costs, FCP keeps your estate plan updated year after year. In this article, you’ll see how this approach works and discover the five key benefits families value most.
Understanding the Family Care Program: Estate Planning Made Simple
FCP makes estate planning and asset protection a living process that grows alongside your family. Built-in reviews, regular updates, and year-round support ensure your documents and asset alignment remain accurate through life’s changes. These five benefits show how the program stands apart and why families appreciate its subscription model.
1. Ongoing Legal Support for Every Stage of Family Life
With FCP, legal care continues well beyond the signing meeting. Built-in reviews and carefully timed updates keep your plan responsive to new stages of life without the uncertainty of traditional one-off legal work.
- Yearly review sessions to catch and resolve changes in family structure, finances, or applicable laws
- Planned document updates so key designations remain accurate as circumstances shift
- Annual asset verification to ensure property titles, beneficiary designations, and accounts stay coordinated
- Family Connect meetings to explain the plan and prepare loved ones for their roles
- Clear scheduling so support is consistent and predictable instead of reactive
2. Cost Predictability and Exceptional Value
Instead of worrying about rising legal fees every time you need a change, FCP offers a flat yearly fee of $1,500 that supports your plan’s growth. Families can stay current with updates and reviews while confidently managing their household budgets.
- Flat, transparent pricing that covers regular reviews and document updates
- No hidden fees for scheduled meetings or asset verification throughout the year
- Built-in services like annual reports and updated deeds when needed
- Financial peace of mind, knowing your legal investment is steady and predictable
- Lower lifetime costs compared to paying hourly for individual updates or consultations
3. Proactive Safeguards That Keep Plans Error-Free
FCP is designed to prevent problems before they ever reach your family. Instead of simply reviewing documents, the program actively monitors how each piece of your estate plan functions together, helping you avoid the hidden risks that cause delays, disputes, or extra costs.
- Early detection of gaps, such as outdated beneficiary designations or property titles that no longer match your trust.
- Built-in property checks to confirm deeds remain valid and ready for transfer, with a new Texas deed prepared if needed.
- Automatic compliance with current law, so changes in estate or tax rules don’t undermine your plan.
- Continuous cross-checking of accounts, policies, and trust provisions to keep every element working together.
- Less stress for your family, knowing small oversights are addressed long before they create financial or legal complications.
This forward-looking protection helps you stay ahead of potential issues and ensures your estate plan works exactly as intended when it matters most.
4. Personalized Guidance and Education
Every family’s story is unique, and FCP is designed to reflect that individuality. From blended households to families with special considerations such as business ownership or caring for aging parents, the program tailors each strategy to match personal goals and values.
Rather than providing standard templates, FCP offers guidance that considers your family’s structure, assets, and long-term intentions so that every decision, from guardianship to asset distribution, fits your specific needs.
FCP also makes learning an ongoing part of the process. Complimentary educational workshops and resources explain new legal developments and planning strategies in clear, approachable language.
This steady support helps you stay confident and informed, empowering your family to make sound decisions while keeping your estate plan strong and up to date.
5. Collaboration With Your Trusted Professional Advisors
FCP brings every member of your financial team onto the same page, so your estate plan and long-term financial strategies work in harmony. By coordinating directly with your financial advisor, accountant, and insurance professionals, FCP ensures that each decision supports the bigger picture of caring for your family and protecting your legacy.
- Integrated planning – Your estate plan is designed to complement your investment, tax, and insurance strategies, helping all parts of your financial life move in the same direction.
- Direct collaboration – With your approval, your attorney communicates directly with your other advisors to share updates and provide instructions, saving you time and reducing the risk of miscommunication.
- Consistent implementation – From updating beneficiary designations to aligning account ownership, every detail is checked so that your trusted professionals can carry out your plan as intended.
- Comprehensive protection – Coordinating legal and financial efforts helps prevent gaps that could lead to unnecessary taxes, delays, or conflicts.
Knowing that all your advisors are working toward the same goals means you can feel confident that your family will be supported and your legacy honored.
How to Get Started With FCP
Beginning your membership is straightforward and designed to fit your family’s schedule. Each stage builds naturally on the last, so your plan takes shape with clarity and care.
- Intake call: A brief first conversation to learn about your goals and confirm that the program is a good fit. Most families move directly from this call to booking their initial consultation.
- Initial consultation and design: A focused two-hour meeting to discuss your assets, priorities, and wishes. If everyone agrees to move forward, engagement and plan design typically happen in this same session, or in a follow-up design meeting if more time is needed.
- Zoom document review: A dedicated review of your drafted plan to confirm details, make refinements, and ensure every provision reflects your intentions.
- Signing meeting: A guided session to finalize and sign all documents, giving you a complete, legally enforceable plan.
- Binder delivery: Your finished plan is organized in a secure, easy-to-reference binder so your family can quickly find what they need in the future.
This organized approach keeps estate planning from feeling overwhelming. From the first call to the final meeting, you can expect steady guidance, clear communication, and the reassurance that nothing important is left unfinished.
Benefits of the Family Care Program: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Families often want to know how an ongoing, subscription-based approach really works and whether it fits their needs. Below are clear answers to the most common questions about FCP and how it keeps your estate plan current and effective year after year.
What makes the Family Care Program different from traditional estate planning?
Traditional planning usually ends once documents are signed, with updates only when you remember to call your lawyer. FCP takes a different path by providing continuous support through scheduled reviews, annual asset verification, and routine plan updates. Instead of a one-time transaction, it creates a long-term partnership that keeps your plan aligned with your life and current Texas laws.
How does the flat annual fee help my family?
Our Family Care Program’s flat $1,500 annual fee covers all regular reviews, updates, and communication. You won’t face surprise bills for questions, plan adjustments, or asset verification. This predictable structure makes it easier to budget while ensuring your plan stays legally sound and ready for any change in family or finances.
What if my family or financial situation changes mid-year?
Life rarely waits for a scheduled review. If you experience a major change, like a new child, a property sale, or a shift in income, your plan can be updated promptly within your membership. These updates and related meetings are included in the annual fee, so your estate plan never falls behind.
Is FCP helpful for blended or complex family situations?
Yes. FCP is designed for families with evolving needs, such as stepchildren, shared property, or multi-generational households. Because your plan is reviewed and updated regularly, it can address new relationships, changing responsibilities, and long-term care considerations with clarity and care.
Can I move from a traditional plan into FCP?
Absolutely. If you already have an estate plan, the process starts with a detailed review to identify gaps and bring documents up to date. Your existing plan becomes the foundation for ongoing maintenance, ensuring everything, from titles to beneficiary designations, matches your current wishes.
Protect Your Legacy with Lasting Support
Your family’s future should never depend on outdated documents or last-minute decisions. By combining regular updates, clear communication, and reliable asset alignment, FCP keeps your estate plan working exactly as you intend, no matter how life unfolds.
