Attorney-Drafted Estate Planning for Austin Residents

Estate planning in Austin comes with a lot of options and, often, a lot of sticker shock. At Estate Resource Center of Texas, we offer a different path: a complete, attorney-drafted estate planning document package at a flat fee that's well below what most Austin law firms charge by the hour. We're based in the Texas Hill Country, and we serve Austin clients who want a clear process, plain-language guidance, and a finished plan — not an open-ended legal engagement.

What Austin Clients Get With an ERC Estate Plan

Our estate planning package is fully executed and attorney-drafted. It's built to handle the full picture of your estate — including real property you may own outside the Austin metro in Hays, Blanco, or Williamson County.

 

Every package includes:

 

  • Revocable living trust
  • Last will and testament
  • Financial and medical powers of attorney
  • Living will and advanced medical directive
  • Organ donor directives and funeral instructions
  • Asset protection analysis
  • Online document vault and funding kit
  • Lifetime updates and unlimited restatements
  • Trust funding and re-deeding support for Texas real property

 

This is a one-appointment process that produces a complete, signed estate plan — not a series of billable hours with no defined finish line.

Our Mission

At Estate Resource Center of Texas, our mission is to empower individuals and families with the knowledge, guidance, and personalized estate planning solutions they need to protect their assets, preserve their legacy, and provide peace of mind for generations to come. We are committed to making estate planning understandable, accessible, and tailored to each client's unique goals and values.

Focused on What Matters Most

Austin Has Plenty of Estate Planning Options. Here's Why Some Clients Choose to Drive Past Them.

The Austin estate planning market is crowded, and hourly attorney rates in the metro reflect that. Many Austin residents — especially those who've already built their assets and simply need a solid plan to protect them — find that the full law firm experience isn't what they need. What they need is a well-drafted set of documents, clear guidance on what each one does, and help making sure their property is actually transferred into the trust.

 

That's what we do. Our Legacy Planning Specialists walk you through every document in plain language. There's no legal jargon to decode, no billable clock running while you ask questions, and no ambiguity about what you're getting when you leave.

 

From Austin, our Boerne office is approximately 45 minutes west on I-10. For clients who want a single in-person appointment that produces a complete estate plan, that drive is often the most efficient decision they make all year.

Central Texas Property Needs a Central Texas Estate Plan

If you own a home in Austin and land in the Hill Country or surrounding counties, a generic estate plan may not handle your property correctly. Real property in Texas doesn't automatically transfer into a trust — it has to be re-deeded, and that step is often skipped entirely by firms that treat document drafting as the finish line.

 

ERC specializes in trust funding and re-deeding for Texas real property. Whether your land is in Hays County, Blanco County, or deeper into the Hill Country, our process accounts for it. Your Austin residence and your rural acreage can be covered under one coordinated plan, handled by a team that understands how Texas property actually works.

Serving Austin Clients From the Heart of the Hill Country

Estate Resource Center of Texas is based in Boerne, with a second office opening in New Braunfels. We serve clients across the Texas Hill Country region and welcome Austin residents who are looking for an alternative to large metro law firms.

 

We don't currently run workshops in the Austin metro, but we work with Austin clients directly through in-person appointments at our Boerne office. If you'd prefer to start the conversation remotely, our Clarity Session can begin by phone.

 

Austin clients with property or family connections in Boerne, Kerrville, or Fredericksburg will find that our regional knowledge of Texas land, county recording requirements, and Hill Country estate considerations is directly relevant to their situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning for Austin Residents

  • Do I have to come to Boerne in person, or can I work with ERC remotely?

    The Clarity Session can begin by phone or video call. For document signing, an in-person visit to our Boerne office is required — but most clients complete the full process in a single trip. Boerne is approximately 45 minutes west of Austin on I-10.

  • How does ERC's pricing compare to estate planning attorneys in Austin?

    Austin estate planning attorneys typically bill by the hour, and a full estate plan can run well into the thousands before the engagement closes. ERC offers a flat-fee attorney-drafted document package that covers everything in our standard estate planning bundle — with no open-ended billing and no surprise invoices at the end.

  • Are ERC's documents actually attorney-drafted, or are they software-generated forms?

    Every document in our estate planning package is attorney-drafted through our Simple Estate Docs platform. The quality of the documents is not compromised by the affordability of the process.

  • I own land in Hays County and a home in Austin. Can one estate plan cover both?

    Yes. Our trust funding and re-deeding process is specifically designed to handle Texas real property across multiple counties. We'll make sure both your Austin residence and your Hays County land are properly transferred into your revocable living trust.

  • What is a revocable living trust and do I need one?

    A revocable living trust is a legal document that holds your assets during your lifetime and transfers them to your beneficiaries after you pass — without going through probate. For most Texas property owners, especially those with real estate in multiple counties, a trust is the most efficient way to pass assets to the people you intend to receive them.

  • What's included in the ERC estate planning package?

    The package includes a revocable living trust, last will and testament, financial and medical powers of attorney, living will, advanced medical directive, organ donor directives, funeral instructions, asset protection analysis, an online document vault, a trust funding kit, and lifetime updates with unlimited restatements. Trust funding and re-deeding support for Texas real property is also included.
