Chelsea Redding

Founding Partner

As the Founding Partner of Redding & Associates, Chelsea R. Redding has built her career around a simple belief: estate planning should feel personal, not overwhelming. For over a decade, she has guided individuals and families throughout Texas through some of life's most important decisions — protecting the people and assets they care about most, and making sure their wishes are honored for generations to come.

Since being licensed to practice law in 2011, Chelsea has prepared more than 1,000 estate plans, ranging from young families creating their first will to ultra-high-net-worth individuals navigating sophisticated asset protection, estate tax mitigation, and wealth transfer strategies. Whatever the size or complexity of an estate, she brings the same level of care, attention, and clarity to every client relationship.

Chelsea is also a sought-after educator in her field, having presented at more than 100 estate planning seminars to fellow professionals and members of the community. She believes that informed clients make better decisions, and she's passionate about demystifying the estate planning process for everyone she works with.

Chelsea is a graduate of Texas Tech University School of Law, where she received the Jurisprudence Award for excellence in legal writing. Chelsea also holds a Bachelor of Arts from Texas Tech University. She is a member of the Texas State Bar and is licensed to practice in the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas. Early in her career, Chelsea’s dedication to clients and to the practice of law earned her the Attorney of the Year award — a recognition that still reflects the standard she holds herself to today.

Chelsea and her team at Redding & Associates are committed to serving the Southlake and surrounding communities with integrity, compassion, and skill.
