Dirk R. Moore is Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, with a practice focused on representing private business owners, high net-worth individuals, charities, and corporate fiduciaries in a wide range of tax and estate planning matters, with an emphasis on asset protection, business succession planning, estate planning, and family wealth transfer.

No matter the financial or marital status of a client, the preparation of “core” estate planning documents every individual should have in place – a will and/or trust, disability planning documents (powers of attorney – both medical and financial, guardian designations) – is usually the initial work Dirk undertakes for his clients. Dirk takes time to fully discuss and understand the goals and objectives his clients seek to achieve by putting their intentions in writing, collaborating closely with his clients to tailor their various estate planning documents to their specific needs. Dirk’s expertise includes advising and counseling his clients about the legal and personal considerations involved with their asset protection planning, overall wealth transfer planning, charitable gift planning, and gift and estate tax compliance and planning. Dirk additionally represents clients with pre- and post-marital agreements, cohabitation agreements, and other property agreements that arise from married or unmarried individuals living together. Additionally, Dirk has significant depth of experience representing both individual and corporate fiduciaries in contested and uncontested estate and trust administrations, probate proceedings, guardianship proceedings, and the preparation of estate and gift tax returns.

Dirk has represented a wide array of business owners during his 25+ year career. Dirk has represented developers and owners of commercial and mixed-use real estate projects – including apartments, commercial and residential condominiums, retail shopping centers, medical facilities, and developers of master-planned communities with residential and commercial lots. Dirk has also represented commercial and residential construction companies, oilfield service and product providers, steel and manufacturing companies, and varied service industry-related business owners. Dirk’s experience includes counseling his business clients on a wide range of strategic transactional matters, including formation and taxation of corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures, as well as experience in handling stock and asset purchases and negotiation of business contracts and agreements for ongoing business entities.
