Estate Planning Attorney in Austin, TX

Flat-fee estate plans for Austin families. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney — explained in plain English.

Austin has grown from a mid-size state capital into one of the most dynamic cities in the country, fueled by a tech boom that brought companies like Tesla, Apple, Google, and Oracle to the area. The population has surged, and home prices have followed. Many Austin residents are relatively new to Texas, having relocated from California, New York, or the Pacific Northwest in the past several years. That means a large number of Austin households have estate plans drafted under another state's laws, or no plan at all.

Jon Miller is licensed in Texas and works with Austin clients entirely by video call. The consultation, plan design, and document review are handled remotely. When your documents are ready, we ship a signing package to your Austin address and coordinate with a mobile notary in your area. For a city full of people who work remotely, the virtual estate planning process feels natural.

Austin is in Travis County, and probate goes through the Travis County Probate Court. The city's rapid growth has increased the court's caseload. A funded trust avoids probate entirely, which matters both for speed and for keeping your financial details out of the public record.

Texas Estate Planning Law

Texas is a community property state with some of the strongest homestead protections in the country. The Texas homestead exemption is unlimited in value for qualifying property, which creates unique estate planning opportunities and constraints. Texas also has specific rules around independent administration of estates, which can simplify probate when properly set up. The state does not have a state income tax or state estate tax, but federal estate tax thresholds still apply.
