A Texas attorney for your Trust — at fixed-fee transparency.
LONE STAR ★ COUNSEL. Texas State Bar. Estate planning that doesn't bury you in billable hours.
Most Texans putting off estate planning say the same two things: "I don't know what I need" and "I don't know what it'll cost." We solve both.
LONE STAR ★ COUNSEL offers two paths: productized fixed-fee Trust plans (Essential, Complete, Premium — from $497 to $1,497) for the majority of Texas families, and custom engagements for genuinely complex matters — business succession, blended families, tax-sensitive estates, special-needs planning. You pick the path that fits.
"I'd talked to two big-firm estate attorneys at $5,500 and $7,200. The LONE STAR ★ COUNSEL team scoped my matter — small business, two kids from a prior marriage — at $9,000 fixed-fee with a delivery date. The clarity alone closed the deal."

Questions Texans actually ask
What's the difference between this and your $497 Trust?
The $497 Foundation Trust is a productized plan for clear-cut situations. A custom engagement is for situations where the off-the-shelf plan would leave gaps — a closely-held business, a blended family with potential disputes, an estate near or above the federal exemption, or special-needs planning. Same firm, different scope.
Why fixed fees instead of hourly?
Hourly billing punishes thorough planning and rewards meeting attendance. Fixed fees align our incentive with yours: deliver the plan, well-drafted, on time. We've productized intake to make this work without the firm losing money — and the result is transparent pricing for clients.
How fast do you respond?
Custom-engagement consultations are scheduled within 1-2 business days of intake. Productized Trust plans are delivered within 1 business day after intake submission.
Do you handle estate administration too?
Yes — we handle Texas Independent Administration, Muniment of Title, Affidavit of Heirship, and Trust Administration as separate engagements. Most are fixed-fee.
What's your jurisdiction?
We're a Texas firm. We draft for Texas residents. For multi-state matters, we coordinate with out-of-state counsel.
