How Much Does Estate Planning Cost?

As you can imagine, we get the question “how much does an estate plan cost” quite frequently. It’s a good question and I want to answer it for you as clearly as I can, given that there is not a “one-size fits all solution” for every family.

I would avoid an attorney who can tell you exactly what your plan would cost without meeting you first. This is exactly why so many estate plans fail.

Families shop around based on price (because they don’t know any other way to shop for an estate plan), and end up with a traditional plan, which is a set of documents that do not actually work when the family needs them.

Here is what I can assure you:

We've priced our estate planning for you and your family at the intersection of affordability and effectiveness. We start the planning process off with a Life & Legacy Planning Session, which is designed to get you more financially organized than you have ever been before.

Even if after the Life & Legacy Planning Session we decide not to work together, the Life & Legacy Planning Session is a hugely valuable process for you and your family, because you will create a full inventory of your assets to ensure your family knows what you have.

When someone passes away and their family doesn’t know what they have and where it is, there’s a huge danger that the wealth they’ve worked so hard to accumulate will be lost to the Georgia Department of Unclaimed Property. This asset inventory will help protect your family from ever dealing with that.

When we meet in person, we will review everything you own; discuss everyone you love; and help you will understand exactly what would happen to everything you own and everyone you love, in the event of your death or incapacity.

If you do not have a plan, we will cover the plan Georgia has for you. If you do have a plan, we will review your current plan with you. We call this an estate plan review and check-up. If you are not happy with your current plan (or the plan Georgia has for you), you will tell us what you would want to change, and we will look at the most effective, efficient and affordable way to achieve your goals.

One thing I consistently tell clients is you will never pay me a penny unless you believe that the value of the work is worth many times more than the cost of the services. The beauty of this process is you will be making informed, educated, empowered decisions for the people you love, not just shopping around based on price. In fact, you will actually choose your own fee based on your budget and the planning options that are most important to you and your family. There truly is no one size fits all choice.

In order to help you make that choice, we have created a process to educate you quickly and effectively so that you can make empowered, informed choices about what you want for the people you love. This way, you aren't simply choosing the cheapest option because you don't have any other basis for making your decisions.

3 Planning Levels

With all that background in mind: a Life & Legacy Planning Session is valued at $750, or if you have an existing estate plan and want our attorney to review it for you, an Estate Plan Review and Checkup is valued at $950.

The great part is, if you do a little preparation ahead of time to make your appointment as valuable a use of your time as possible and bring your spouse, if you are married, then the fee for the Life & Legacy Planning Session is waived. That saves me time and saves you money.

Our three levels of planning for a comprehensive plan (or update of your existing plan) range between $3,000 and $9,500, depending on the choices you make during the Life & Legacy Planning Session.

If after reading this, you are ready to make informed, empowered, educated decisions for the people you love (instead of just shopping around for the cheapest plan, which is unlikely to work when your family needs it), get started by booking your Life & Legacy Planning Session (or Estate Plan Review and Check-up) below!
