The flat fee is the whole fee for the package: the three meetings, the drafting, and the signing.
Will, or trust?
Most people need the will. Some need the trust.
A revocable living trust is a good tool for particular situations and an expensive one for everyone else. The first meeting is where we work out which you are, before anything is drafted.
If the will package does the job, that is what you’ll be told, and the fee stays at $950 or $1,500. The practice makes less money that way. It also gets to keep its name.
Already have documents?
A will from years ago is worth a $300 read.
Lives change faster than paperwork. Houses get sold, children grow up, the person you named to decide things moves to another state. The review tells you what still holds and what doesn’t, and any changes are priced before they’re made.
If everything still works, you’ll hear that too, and the review is all you pay for.
Ready when you are
Call, and bring nothing.
The first meeting needs a rough idea of what you own and who matters to you. The paperwork comes later. That is the point of doing this properly.
