Services
Every day you make decisions to keep your family going strong. From the little things (what's for dinner), to the big things (buying a new home), life is easier when you think ahead. Of all the plans you make, few will be as important as your estate plan. At Nielsen Law, we know how overwhelming estate planning can be.
A comprehensive estate plan is the best way to ensure that your loved ones are cared for in difficult times. Our goal is to provide you with well-deserved peace of mind by combining our legal expertise and our genuine appreciation for your needs to protect what matters most. We work closely with every client to draft a customized plan that addresses their specific needs, desires, and concerns.
If you have a family member with a disability or mental illness that may prevent him or her from being self-supportive, it is important to know that legal tools are available to protect your family member's needs in the short and long term. Attorney Liz Nielsen has worked with many clients who have family members with special needs.
When a loved one passes, the next steps are often unclear. Nielsen Law, an Austin probate law firm, is here to help guide you through the emotional and stressful probate and estate administration process that follows the death of a loved one. Whether the deceased had a living trust, Will, or died intestate (without a will), we can take you step-by-step through the administration process.
Potential clients often ask us "do I really need an estate plan?" In almost every instance, the answer to this question is "yes!" Since no one knows when you will die, become incapacitated or have an emergency where you need someone to act on your behalf, estate planning is important at all stages of your life.

We moved to the Austin area from out of state and our prior estate planning firm referred us to Nielsen Law. I did the internet research and was very interested in meeting with them. Their website is well presented and confidence inspiring. I just wish they had noted on the website they were NOT accepting new clients. This would have save me a bunch of time emailing them and following up by phone only to hear the disappointing news. Transparency is important.

Working with Liz and Cort was a wonderful experience. They were very professional, knowledgeable and made a complex process very simple. Liz was very generous with her time and answered all our questions. Cort ensured we stayed on top of our to-dos so we were prepared for our calls and discussions. I'd highly recommend them for estate planning.

Liz and her team are the best of all worlds: caring, attentive, hyper-organized and exceptionally thorough. They guided us through the painstaking process of making a will with confidence and kindness. Liz is warm and easy to talk to. She also really knows her stuff! Liz simplified complex legal language and used real-life situations to explain how concepts like financial and medical powers of attorney work. I can’t speak highly enough of Liz’s team. Elizabeth and Cort verified key details, edited drafts, and responded to emails and questions right away. They were diligent, meticulous and wonderful

We hired Nielsen Law firm because of Liz's legal and educational credentials. She has proven to be a very talented attorney who provided the most up-to-date legal advice and highly professional service. We felt very comfortable working with her on our Trust and Wills. We felt she is honest, trustworthy, fully understood our needs, and thoroughly addressed them. Her staff is also excellent. Quickly responded to questions, always a short turn around time, professional, and helpful. Great Team! Great Law firm! Highly recommend.

We worked with Liz and her team to create a Trust and to do all the things necessary to have a comprehensive estate plan in place. Mission accomplished! They walked us through the entire process in a way we found to be extremely organized, thorough and one that exceeded our expectations. We could not be more pleased with Liz and her team and we highly recommend them for anyone looking to develop an estate plan.
