Estate Planning 60%

There are a myriad of legal strategies you might consider implementing as you design your estate plan. Regardless, there are a handful of "must have" estate planning documents you must create before anything else. Will, Health Care Directive, Power of Attorney, Trusts.

60%
Elder Law 20%

Generally speaking, Elder Law can be defined as the holistic application of general legal principles to the specific emotional, logistical and financial needs of mature Americans. You may not be willing to admit that you may become incapacitated and perhaps need expensive long-term care in the future. However, denial is not a strategy and there is no time like the present to plan.

HANDS-DOWN – Mr. John Lane is your ticket. He is FANTASTIC!

If you are in need of an attorney for your estate planning: HANDS-DOWN – Mr. John Lane is your ticket. He is FANTASTIC!!! We were concerned about updating our wills and needed a good attorney. We Googled for the best estate planning attorney and John’s name popped up. We called three attorneys and h...e was the only one that returned our call. The other two calls were retuned three and four days later. We made an appointment. We arrived at his office, were warmly greeted and promptly brought into his office. He was very cheerful and immediately made us feel at ease. He has a great personality, great bedside manners, and very professional. He took the edge out of a difficult situation explaining all our options. John patiently answered each question that we had without ever coming across as patronizing. His manner was warm and open, and it seemed more like having a conversation with a friend. It felt great to have our questions answered so confidently and in layman's terms. We came in with a three page will and ended up with a binder. Yes, John is very thorough. He covered everything we wanted and things we hadn’t thought about. He covered it all:  Last Will and Testament  Statutory Durable Power of Attorney  Health Care Power of Attorney  Medical Directive  HIPAA Authorization  Declaration of Guardian  …and more Mr. Lane made the whole situation a more pleasant experience!! I HIGHLY recommend John Lane!!! If you are in need of an attorney for your estate planning, again: HANDS-DOWN – Mr. John Lane is your ticket. He is FANTASTIC!!!

My experience with John M. Lane

When faced with the need of a good attorney for what I considered a very important life decisions on family law, and I found difficult to find an avenue that met my requirements, I interview several Lawyers in the Austin area. John Lane was firmly the best pick and I am very happy with the results. ...I changed some of my original ideas when discussing with him, he proved to have some times a neat and better solutions in many aspects. Several attributes I valued are: He was not afraid to bring in different alternatives that I could not ever thought of.Showed his skills working with people and stuck with me all the way to the end to my full satisfaction. Together with his high professional competence, I applaud his attitude of loving what he does for a living as well as placing always my interest first. His final package is impressive. Very good Lawyer; competent; compassionate; that produced for me the best possible results.

Estate Planning Excellence

John recently updated our estate documents. Several specifics: (1) He was willing to come to our home, on a Saturday, to make it convenient for us; (2) He ensured our wills are self-executing (very important); (3) He provided us a very convenient binder with all our documents - and provided us with... electronic copies. Realizing that readers are interested in fees - John charged us about half of what we've paid previously for updates to our estate documentation. (In other words, we're comparing apples to apples on fees.) Very satisfied with John's work - and we have high trust in him as a representative of integrity.
