Usually by the end of our first meeting we are able to identify and discuss your various options, what each will accomplish, what we would recommend (and why), and the estimated cost. You can then determine what is appropriate given your circumstances and goals.

Estate planning is one of the two primary focuses of our practice.

Our practice is built upon the belief that clients need (and deserve) the time to discuss their unique circumstances, to understand their options, and to formulate their planning objectives. Through the effective use of technology, we have shortened the time needed to draft your legal documents. Our process, therefore, provides for quality client-attorney “face time” while minimizing drafting work. This allows us to build strong client relationships and provide quality counsel for a reasonable fee.

Our typical costs for an estate plan for a couple range from $750 to $5,000 (excluding filing fees) depending on the complexity of the planning. The lower end would include a simple will, power of attorney and health care proxy for each spouse, an emergency guardianship proxy and homestead declaration. The middle and higher end will include a trust or multiple trusts depending on the needs and complexity of the estate.
