Located in Southeast Texas, Houston is the most populous city in the state, with a population of over 2,300,000. From its founding in 1836, after the legendary Sam Houston liberated Texas from Mexico, through the present, Houston has had a storied history. Today, the city has evolved and its economy has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. Houston is also currently home to many Fortune 500 companies. Moreover, the Port of Houston leads the U.S. in international waterborne tonnage handled and ranks second in total cargo tonnage handled.
Many cultural institutions and exhibits can be found in Houston’s Museum District, attracting millions of visitors each year, which drives tourism revenue. In short, Houston is renowned for being a global city with a growing international community; current residents hail from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. In fact, Houston has become the most racially and ethnically diverse major metropolis in the country.
At the same time, the people of Houston are much like others throughout the U.S. Nearly 60 percent of adults in the country don’t have an estate plan. That’s the reason attorney Kim Hegwood started Your Legacy Legal Care. Seeing firsthand how loved ones struggle with the complexities of estate planning, asset protection, elder law and the challenges of aging, Kim is dedicated to helping individuals, couples and families resolve similar concerns.
