What is the average cost of an Estate Plan? Will I be charged a consultation fee for meeting with an attorney to discuss my estate planning needs?
The cost of estate plans vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual client. Without stating any specific fees, a range which would represent my current 2008 fees would be between $500-$3,000. I generally charge a $150 consultation fee; however, when a client hires me during that consultation to prepare documents and pays my fee for same at that time, I will usually waive the consultation fee.
