Rebecca O'Connor

I am an estate planning, probate, and fiduciary attorney based in Austin, dedicated to helping individuals and families create comprehensive legal plans that protect their assets and avoid unnecessary complications. At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, I focus on wills, trusts, estate planning, and probate matters across Central Texas.

I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation with a focus on estate planning, which allows me to bring advanced knowledge of tax strategy, asset protection, and complex estate structures to my clients.

Extensive Experience in Estate Planning and Probate

I have significant experience handling:

Wills and trust planning (revocable and irrevocable)
Probate and estate administration
Asset protection and succession planning
Guardianship and fiduciary matters

In addition to my work at the firm, I have founded and operated my own estate planning practice, where I served clients throughout the Austin area with comprehensive legal guidance.

A Unique Background in Regulatory and Government Law

Alongside my private practice experience, I have served as a regulatory attorney with the Texas Department of Insurance and worked in legislative and policy roles at both the state and national level.

My experience includes:

Drafting and analyzing state regulations
Advising government agencies and organizations
Working on legislative and policy initiatives

This background gives me a deeper understanding of how laws are created, interpreted, and enforced—insight that benefits my clients when navigating complex estate and regulatory matters.

A Personal Commitment to Proactive Planning

My dedication to estate planning is also personal. After experiencing the challenges that can arise when a loved one passes without proper planning, I became committed to helping families avoid unnecessary hardship.

I work to ensure my clients have:

Clear legal documentation
Thoughtful planning strategies
Long-term protection for their families
Serving Austin and Central Texas

Through the firm’s Austin office, I proudly serve clients in:

Helping individuals and families plan for the future with confidence.
