Fees
The most common question we get is what a simple will costs. Everyone wants to know the price before they make the call or provide any information. The problem in answering that question is that when it comes to estate planning, one size does not fit all. Depending on the complexity of your assets (large estate, business ownership, real estate owned in other states or countries) and family dynamics (blended families, children from previous marriages, minor children, special needs children) a simple will might not accomplish what you need it to do.
Simple Will Package: A simple will works well for single individuals or those that are married without minor children. A simple will package, which includes a Last Will and Testament, Personal Property Memorandum, General Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Advanced Directive (living will), and Disposition of Last Remains, is $1,450 for an individual and $1,850 for a couple
Complete Family Will Package: The family will package is for individuals and couples with minor children. A family will package, which includes a Last Will & Testament with Contingent Trust for children, a Personal Property Memorandum, the Nomination of Guardian for Minor Child, General Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Advanced Directive (Living Will), and Disposition of Last Remains, for each spouse, is $1,850 for an individual and $2,250 for a couple.
Living Trust Package: The living trust package will avoid probate because your assets are owned by the trust and held by the trustee. A trust can provide privacy and protection of your assets for your beneficiaries and allow you to have your assets distributed over time. The living trust package which includes the Revocable Living Trust Agreement, Transfer Deed for real property, Pourover Will, Nomination of Guardian for Minor Child (if necessary), General Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Advanced Directive (Living Will), and Disposition of Last Remains is $2,950 for an individual and $3,500 for a couple.
