The fees to set up an estate plan depend on a number of factors.
Estate Plans - For clients that need a basic estate plan, the fee is $2,250 for a single person and $3000 for a couple. A basic estate plan includes a revocable trust, pour over will, durable power of attorney, advanced health care directive, assignment of property and one real property deed. Everybody has differences with their estate and your estate will be reviewed prior to drafting the plan to ensure you have the correct type of trust to match your needs. On average, an estate plan takes 2-3 weeks depending on current scheduling. Your overall estate will be assessed to determine the appropriate estate plan.
A typical estate plan will consist of the following:
Amendments - Amendments to existing trusts are done on an hourly basis at $375 an hour.
Restatement of Trust - A restatement of trust is done on an hourly basis at $375 an hour.
Insurance Plans - If you are a member of ARAG legal insurance, fees are structured as "covered in full" plan or Will only. Insurance does not cover property deeds or notary fees. Deeds are $150 per property (only California) and $15 per notarized signature.
