Biography

Amanda L. Neinast is an attorney in the Trusts & Estates practice of Jackson Walker’s Austin office who regularly assists clients with creating, implementing, and modifying estate plans that accomplish key objectives regarding the disposition of one’s estate while working to preserve the estate through the maximization of credits and exemptions under federal estate and gift tax laws. Amanda also has experience counseling clients on capacity planning before the need arises and advising clients regarding Supplemental Needs Trusts for themselves or incapacitated family members. Additionally, Amanda has experience advising clients in lawful asset protection techniques, including the formation and administration of business entities to provide for asset management and to simplify succession issues.

A noteworthy portion of Amanda’s practice is devoted to advising owners of mineral interests regarding transfer techniques designed to avoid further fractionalization of interests and she counsels fiduciaries seeking to perfect the chain of title for mineral interests during the probate process and properly document testamentary transfers.

Prior to joining Jackson Walker, Amanda served as Assistant In-House Counsel for a land brokerage firm located in Midland, Texas, whereby she served as outside counsel for local and national oil and gas companies to ensure their mineral and surface title was accurate and marketable prior to commencement of drilling operations. Additionally, Amanda generated due diligence reports for clients prior to an acquisition or divestiture of oil and gas assets.
