FAQ - Fees & Consultation

How much does an estate plan cost?

Costs vary depending on complexity, assets, and planning goals. Many estate planning matters are handled on a flat-fee basis. More complex matters may require hourly billing. We provide a clear explanation of fees before beginning work.

Do you offer flat fees?

For certain services which are more predictable like basic estate documents, deeds, and opening a simple LLC I can do a flat fee. However, matters which are more complex and less predictable are usually done on a per-hour basis.

How much is a consultation?

I usually do not charge a consultation fee. The initial consultation is for you to evaluate me and me to evaluate whether it is a matter I can or should handle. Charging for that seems excessive.

What happens during a consultation?

As stated, a consultation is for you to evaluate me, me to evaluate whether I can or should handle the matter, and to get a feel for the appropriate fee structure. I can meet in person, but many initial consultations are handled over video call and take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour for more complex issues.
