Illustrative total
~$7,400
Choose a package archetype to set a base fee assumption, then multiply by attorney tier, state complexity, and asset profile complexity. Additional documents beyond four add a flat illustrative charge per document. Optional modules approximate tax coordination, probate-avoidance drafting, and healthcare advance directives. Low and high bands bracket the total for discussion—not a quote range from any particular firm.
Recording fees, certified copies, appraisal costs, life insurance trust administration, charitable structures, business succession counsel, and ongoing trustee fees should be budgeted separately.
