ABOUT EDISON
A strategic advisory firm with legal depth, in Houston Heights.
Edison Legal is the legal division of Edison Advisory Group: estate planning, elder law, probate, business and cross-border counsel from one office at 540 Heights Blvd #224 in Houston Heights, guided by one philosophy of intentional planning.
One office. Six areas of guidance.
Our team works across six areas of guidance: Estate Planning, Elder Law, Probate and Trust Administration, Generational Wealth Planning, Business Advisory, and Cross-Border and Expatriate Planning.
The practice focuses on Houston-area families, whether they are preparing a first will, caring for aging parents, guiding an estate through probate, or holding assets that cross the US-Mexico border.
- Six
- areas of guidance, from estate planning to cross-border
- One office
- in Houston Heights, serving the Houston area
- In person or by phone
- for every planning consultation
Estate planning is broader than a single will.
A complete plan addresses who manages your affairs if you become incapacitated, who receives your assets, and what medical decisions you want honored. The right documents depend on your family structure, your assets, and your goals.
The firm prepares
- Wills and trusts tailored to your family under Texas law
- Durable financial powers of attorney and medical powers of attorney
- Lady Bird deeds and transfer-on-death deeds for real property
- Living wills and directives to physicians
- Guardianship designations
On the elder law side, the practice covers Medicaid planning in two forms: proactive planning for families who have time to prepare before a parent or spouse needs long-term care, and crisis planning for families facing an immediate need. The firm also handles guardianship proceedings and long-term care guidance for families managing a parent’s transition into care.
When a loved one passes, the firm guides executors, trustees, and heirs through Texas probate and trust administration, from the initial court filing to final distribution.
Generational Wealth Planning serves established Houston families thinking beyond their own estate toward their children and grandchildren. Cross-Border and Expatriate Planning serves families with assets and ties in both the United States and Mexico, a niche grounded in Houston’s position as a hub for US-Mexico families and commerce.

WHAT GUIDES US
Five ideas behind every piece of advice.
Continuity
Helping clients create stability through change. Life changes. Families evolve. Businesses transition. Good planning creates continuity.
Stewardship
Clients entrust us with more than legal matters. They trust us with families. Businesses. Legacies. Relationships. That trust should shape every interaction.
Confidence
Clients don’t hire us because they understand the law. They hire us because they want confidence in the decisions they’re making. Everything we communicate should reduce uncertainty.
Integration
Life doesn’t happen in practice areas. Estate planning affects business succession. Long-term care affects family finances. International moves affect taxes, residency, and estate planning.
Opportunity
Planning isn’t simply about avoiding risk. It’s about creating opportunities. Opportunities to grow. To protect. To transition. To preserve. Good planning expands possibilities.
What to expect when you work with us.
Thoughtful Guidance
Every client’s situation is different. Before recommending anything, the firm takes time to understand your family, your assets, and what you are trying to accomplish.
Clear Communication
Legal documents can be dense. The firm explains each step in plain terms so you can make confident decisions, not just sign where you are told to.
Comprehensive Planning
A plan should address what your family actually needs, now and in the future. The starting point is always your situation, not a standard package.
Long-Term Relationships
Estate planning is not a one-time document. Your life changes, and your plan needs to change with it. The firm stays accessible after your initial documents are signed.
An initial consultation is a working conversation. You share your situation; the attorneys explain what Texas law requires and what your options are. No paperwork begins until you have decided on a direction.
A multidisciplinary advisory team.
Edison is organized as one advisory team rather than a list of attorneys. Legal counsel, nursing and care coordination, and paralegal support work side by side, so legal, healthcare, and business questions can be answered in one place.
No obligation
