How Much Does a Trust Cost?

How much does a trust cost? Most people know that estate planning is important.  Wills, trust and powers of attorney are indeed crucial parts of planning for the "knowns" and "unknowns" of the future.  But how much will it cost to get the right plan in place?  What sort of fees will a lawyer charge? And will it be hourly, fixed fee or something else?  At Schleiffarth Law Firm, we work hard to make it easy to establish a thorough and complete estate plan.  Details matter and getting it right matters so we take the time and effort to work closely with each client to be sure they are totally taken care of.  But what should you expect to pay at the end of the day?  At Schleiffarth Law Firm, we charge only flat fixed fees - no surprises, no bills for meeting or calls, no wondering what the final bill might be - we provide a fixed fee right from the beginning.  In most cases, for a trust-based plan, this ranges from $1,700 to $3,000 depending on the complexity of your situation - but that fixed fee is determined and clearly communicated in our very first meeting.  We're here to help and we're here to make it easy.
