Prior to our planning meeting ($399), you’ll receive a detailed questionnaire so our team can familiarize ourselves with your specific situation (assets, family members, etc.). If you move forward and work with us, this $399 is credited toward your Estate Planning Service investment.

These can be filled out on your schedule at a time that's convenient for you. We use an online drafting software to save you time and eliminate human error when filing your forms.

Unfortunately yes, these documents require two witnesses plus a notary. However, we’ve developed a really organized process that allows you to stay in your car and sign all of your documents within 15 minutes.
Our 5-step process is super streamlined. So as long as you fill out your questionnaires and get us your information in a timely manner, we can typically have your finalized estate plan within three to four weeks.
With our custom Estate Planning Services, you’ll automatically be enrolled in our Continuing Client Care Program. This gives you complimentary annual updates to your durable power of attorney, health care proxy, and HIPAA release.
Our initial consultation fee is $399. If you decide to work with us, this will be applied to your custom Estate Planning Service. Typically, our clients spend around $3,500 for estate plans and $5,900 for estate and tax planning. The investment can increase depending on the number of beneficiaries, amount of property and assets, and any special tax circumstances.
No, in short a will is part of your estate plan. An estate plan is more comprehensive and includes all of your assets (everything from large investment accounts and real estate to your instagram account and library card). The Will only covers probate assets, which are assets in your name only at death. For example, if you have a co-owner, beneficiary, or a trust owning an asset, those will pass automatically, and the Will will not apply.
There are lots of reasons it’s better to avoid going through the courts. First, the courts are extremely slow as they’re generally understaffed and still backed up from COVID. Second, you’ll need an attorney to file complex and time-consuming paperwork if you go through the courts. The attorney’s fees to do this cost more than getting your estate plan done in advance. Third, everyone is named in the Will and an heir at law must be given notice of someone passing. So if you disinherit someone, they will still get notice that they’re being disinherited. And lastly, anything filed at the court is public record.
