Serving Families in McKinney
and Beyond

What our past clients had to say:

"I had the best experience working with Scott. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but he made the entire process clear, approachable, and stress-free. He took the time to really listen to my goals and explain every option in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and I always felt my questions were welcomed and answered thoroughly. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for an estate planning attorney who combines expertise with compassion."

Meet Scott Christiansen

With nearly 30 years of experience, Scott Christiansen founded Texas Legacy Planning to help McKinney families protect what matters most. His approach is rooted in a simple belief: estate planning should be cost-effective, straightforward, and fully understood.

A Common-Sense Approach

Scott’s transition into estate planning was personal, sparked by the need to protect his own three daughters. Combining his background in Mechanical Engineering with his J.D. from Pepperdine University, he applies a logical, small-town common-sense approach to complex legal problems. He replaces confusing jargon with “Plain English” to ensure his clients feel empowered and confident in the documents they sign.
