If you quote me one price and less than two weeks later quote me a higher price, you’re not going to get my business. Does it really cost this much to fill out some forms???
On top of that, everyone has a different opinion about what to do when it comes to estate planning … a will, a trust (revocable or irrevocable), a 529 plan … the list goes on. I mean, I know what I want, is it too hard to just get a simple answer and for everyone to be on the same page?? It’s going to take [this lawyer] maybe 8 hours to fill out these forms and [the lawyer’s] hourly rate is some $250 so that’s going to be … $2000+. WTF! Should i just use legal zoom? Can’t I just fill out these forms myself? So, a trust is a little more complicated and perhaps incurs additional costs but a will for $950? Legal zoom lists it’s price for a will and power of attorney at < $200. And they’ll do a trust for ~ $200…so let me see, < $400 with legal zoom or $2000+ with a lawyer. Hmmm!
