Nielsen Law – Austin, TX

Family-Focused Estate Planning in Austin

Estate planning is more than just drafting documents; it is an act of love that protects your family’s future. Nielsen Law, located in North Austin, Texas, is a boutique firm dedicated exclusively to estate planning, probate, and special needs planning. Founded by Liz Nielsen, an attorney Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the firm offers a level of expertise held by less than 1% of Texas attorneys. Liz understands that every family is unique-whether traditional, blended, or single-parent households-and she tailors every plan to fit those specific dynamics. If you need to find a lawyer who combines legal precision with genuine compassion, Nielsen Law is a trusted partner for your journey.

Comprehensive Planning Services

The firm’s practice is laser-focused on helping clients navigate life’s transitions. They avoid the ”one-size-fits-all” approach, instead offering personalized solutions in:

• Wills and Trusts: Creating revocable living trusts and wills that ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, avoiding unnecessary court interference.
• Special Needs Planning: Designing trusts that provide for a loved one with a disability without revitalizing their eligibility for essential government benefits.
• Probate and Estate Administration: Guiding families through the legal process after a death, whether it involves a full probate in court or a private trust administration.
• Kids Protection Planning: specialized planning for parents of minor children to ensure they are raised by the guardians you choose, not the court system.

Clients seeking to hire an attorney often appreciate the firm’s clear pricing and flat-fee structures for many services, which remove the fear of hourly billing clocks.

A Relationship-Based Practice

Nielsen Law views estate planning as a lifelong relationship, not a one-time transaction. They encourage regular reviews of your plan to ensure it evolves with your life changes, such as marriage, new children, or retirement. Liz Nielsen’s background, including earning the Dean’s Achievement Award in Wills & Estates at UT Law, underpins the firm’s commitment to excellence. Located on Shoal Creek Boulevard, the office is warm and welcoming, designed to make you feel at ease while discussing sensitive topics. If you need an attorney urgently to handle a probate matter or update a will before a trip, Nielsen Law provides the responsive and expert care you deserve.
