How much does an estate planning lawyer charge?
Attorney Gadi Zohar explains:
How much does an estate planning lawyer charge? It depends on your particular plan and your particular needs. What I can say is that what we try to do here, and we find most of our clients like, and I’d say about 90% of the cases, once we get your needs in order and once we have met with you and decided what it is that is the right estate plan for you, we charge a flat fee in most cases so that you can go through the process without worrying about the clock ticking every time, you call and have a question, or if you want to make changes, and so on.
Another thing I like to tell people about this is what an estate planning lawyer charge. There are ranges. We could say $4,000. We could say $5,000. We could say $3,500. I don’t know what the exact amount of your plan will be, but what I can tell you is the thousand dollar difference here or $2,000 difference there between this attorney and that one is nothing compared to what happens if your estate plan isn’t properly drawn up and executed down the line.
So the real important question is, how much is it worth to you to have the peace of mind, of knowing that your estate plan will be executed in the way that it should be, and in the most efficient manner according to your wishes?
