About Cara L. Hernandez, J.D.

Of utmost importance to me is honoring the value of your legacy — ensuring your family inherits not only what you have, but who you are. I look forward to helping you secure your legacy with purpose and peace of mind.

Hi! I’m Cara Hernandez, and I founded the Law Office of Cara L. Hernandez, PLLC with one simple goal: to make the legal process feel less overwhelming and more human.

My passion for estate planning began close to home. I watched my grandparents take thoughtful steps to secure their legacy, ensuring their wishes were honored and our family had peace of mind. That experience showed me how powerful estate planning can be when it’s guided by compassion and clarity—and it continues to shape how I serve my clients today.

For parents, planning ahead brings an added layer of peace: the ability to nominate guardians and know that, if something happens to you, the right people will have the legal authority to care for your children. Knowing your family will be cared for exactly as you intend is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind.

I see every client as more than a case—you’re a person with goals, challenges, and a life to live. My role is to handle the legal details so you can focus on what matters most.

“Clients aren’t cases. They’re people with goals, pressures, and timelines. My job is to take on the legal work so you can get back to your life.”

What I Do

My practice focuses exclusively on estate planning—helping individuals and families across Texas protect what matters most.

A well-crafted estate plan provides more than documents—it brings organization, communication, and peace of mind. It keeps your affairs in order, clarifies your wishes, and spares your family the stress of uncertainty.

Services

• Wills: Clear, organized, and legally enforceable instructions for your estate.

• Trusts: Flexibility, privacy, and protection for your assets.

• Powers of Attorney: Designating trusted decision-makers when you need them most.

• Advance Healthcare Directives: Ensuring your medical choices are known and honored.

• Comprehensive Legacy Planning: Strategies that reflect your values and provide lasting peace of mind.

• Collaborative Approach: We work with (or can refer you to) trusted professionals—financial planners, CPAs, insurance agents, realtors, and more—to ensure every part of your plan works together.

Whether you’re starting a family, planning for retirement, or caring for aging parents, my goal is to help you feel confident, prepared, and at peace—knowing your loved ones will have guidance when it matters most.
