What You Can Do With Our Team in Magnolia

With five offices throughout Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas, we serve over 40 counties and are known nationally as leaders in our field. In Magnolia, we offer comprehensive legal services, including:

  • Estate Planning. Need a Will and Trusts? We will present you with options for preserving your property and assets for the next generation with minimal tax consequences.
  • Medicaid Planning. If you do not have unlimited funds to pay for a nursing home, you can take advantage of sophisticated tools that protect your assets and ensure that you will be able to afford the care you may one day need.
  • Asset Protection. Every day in the United States, accidents or other events happen that create the potential for personal liability. That is why you need a plan to protect assets so that if the worst happens, you know that there will be personal resources available to you when the dust settles.
  • Probate and Guardianship. Whether you are seeking Guardianship or are involved in the administration of a loved one’s estate, you will need a probate attorney by your side to help you navigate what could be a difficult process.
  • Special Needs Trusts. By planning ahead with an attorney, parents of children with special needs can make sure there is money available for their child’s care after they are gone and that they will also qualify for necessary government benefits.

The tools, products, documents, and guidance we offer within each of these areas ensure that you and your family will be protected—whatever happens!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Magnolia Office

Is the Magnolia office open for walk-ins?

No — our Magnolia office sees clients by appointment only. This lets our attorneys give each Arkansas family our full attention during the meeting. Call (800) 780-6993 to schedule, and we'll confirm a date and time that works for you.

Are your attorneys licensed to practice law in Arkansas?

Yes. Ross & Shoalmire has attorneys licensed in Arkansas, and we have served Arkansas clients for many years from our Magnolia and Hot Springs offices. We handle Arkansas wills, trusts, probate, Medicaid planning, and elder law matters under Arkansas law.

What areas does the Magnolia office serve?

Our Magnolia office serves clients throughout Southwest Arkansas, including Columbia County, Union County, Ouachita County, Calhoun County, Lafayette County, and Nevada County. We regularly see clients from Magnolia, El Dorado, Camden, Prescott, Stamps, Waldo, Emerson, and McNeil.

Should I use the Magnolia office or the Texarkana office?

Use whichever is closer and most convenient. The Magnolia office is best for clients in Columbia, Union, Ouachita, and Calhoun counties. The Texarkana office is better for clients in Miller, Little River, Hempstead, and Lafayette counties on the Arkansas side. Either way, you are working with the same firm and the same legal team — we coordinate internally to match you with the right attorney.

Do you offer home, hospital, or nursing-home visits in the Magnolia area?

Yes. Many of our elder law clients have mobility challenges or are already in a hospital, rehab facility, or nursing home. When in-person signing or counsel is needed and a client cannot come to our Magnolia office, we can arrange a visit at their location.

Why does a firm based in Texas have an Arkansas office in Magnolia?

Ross & Shoalmire was founded in Texarkana, on the Texas–Arkansas state line, and we have always served clients in both states. As demand for Arkansas-side elder law grew, we opened dedicated Arkansas offices in Magnolia and Hot Springs so Arkansas clients can meet with us closer to home without traveling across the state line.

What's the difference between Arkansas and Texas estate planning?

The basics are similar — wills, trusts, powers of attorney — but the rules differ in important ways. Arkansas has its own probate process, homestead and dower rights, Medicaid eligibility rules, and trust laws. An estate plan drafted under Texas law may not work as intended in Arkansas. Our attorneys handle both and can build the right plan for where you live and where your assets are.
