Estate Planning, Probate, Real Estate & Corporate Law Firm in Incline Village, Nevada

Lakeside Lawyers provides legal services across a wide range of practice areas, including estate planning (wills and trusts), probate and trust administration, real estate transactional law, evictions, corporate formation, mergers and acquisitions, business contracts and agreements, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and Nevada residency and relocation services — including helping clients transition from California to Nevada. If you have a legal need that isn't listed here, give us a call at (775) 832-5999 to see how we can help.

At Lakeside Lawyers, your legal matter is handled directly by a licensed attorney from start to finish — not a paralegal or legal assistant. Many firms delegate legal work to unlicensed staff and simply review their work after the fact. We take a different approach. Our attorneys personally handle every aspect of your case, from your initial consultation through final resolution. To maintain this level of service for clients across our Nevada and Texas offices, we intentionally limit the number of cases we take on. Whether you're in Incline Village, Austin, or relocating from California, you can expect hands-on legal guidance from a qualified attorney every step of the way. Meet our attorneys to learn more about the team handling your case.

Our attorneys are licensed to practice law in Nevada, California, and Texas. With offices in Incline Village, Nevada and Austin, Texas, we regularly serve clients across all three states. In addition to our primary offices, we have access to meeting locations in Las Vegas, the Bay Area, Southern California, and throughout Texas, so we can meet with clients wherever it's most convenient. This multi-state capability is especially valuable for clients navigating relocations, establishing Nevada or Texas residency, forming business entities across state lines, or managing estate plans that involve property or interests in more than one state. Contact us to discuss how we can help with your specific situation.

Yes — relocation matters are one of our most common practice areas. Because our attorneys are licensed in California, Nevada, and Texas, we can guide you through the entire transition under one roof. That often includes establishing Nevada or Texas residency, updating your estate plan to work under your new state's laws, transferring or retitling real estate, and restructuring or relocating a business entity. Coordinating these matters with a single firm is significantly faster and less expensive than hiring separate attorneys in each state — and it ensures nothing falls through the cracks during the transition.

This is one of the most common misconceptions in estate planning. A will alone does not help you avoid probate — in fact, it virtually guarantees it. When you pass away with only a will, your estate must go through probate, a court-supervised process that can take months, create significant stress for your family, and cost thousands of dollars in legal fees and court costs. The good news is that with proper planning, probate can be avoided in most situations. Tools like a revocable living trust allow your assets to transfer directly to your loved ones without court involvement — often at a fraction of what probate would cost. If you only have a will, or no estate plan at all, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to find out how simple and affordable it can be to protect your family.

Getting started is easy. You can call us at (775) 832-5999, send us an email, or fill out the contact form on our website. Our team will gather some basic information about your legal needs and get you scheduled with an attorney. Many of our initial consultations are free of charge, particularly for estate planning, business formation, and Nevada residency matters. For certain other legal matters, a consultation fee may apply — our staff will let you know upfront so there are no surprises.

We have two primary offices: one in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe (856 Tahoe Blvd, Incline Village, NV 89451), and one in Austin, Texas (603 Davis Street, Austin, TX 78701). In addition to our primary offices, we have access to meeting locations in Las Vegas, the Bay Area, Southern California, and throughout Texas. If you're not local to one of our offices, we also offer remote consultations by video conference — so we can work with clients across Nevada, California, and Texas regardless of where they're based.

We offer both in-person and remote consultations. Many of our clients — especially those in different states or those relocating between Nevada, California, and Texas — prefer to meet by video conference, and we've built our practice to make that work seamlessly. Documents can be reviewed, drafted, signed, and notarized through a combination of remote and in-person steps depending on your situation. When you contact us, we'll discuss the format that works best for your matter and your location.
