Estate Planning Lawyer- affordable document drafting

I worked for a large law firm in Tysons Corner and have now started my own practice. I can offer big firm expertise at a small firm price. Complete estate plans to include a will, power of attorney and advance medical directive starting at $550 for a single person and $1,100 for husband and wife. I find that by charging a flat rate clients can feel comfortable asking questions and requesting meetings without worrying about being billed by the hour. I can also advise and draft more complicated estate plans to include revocable trusts and irrevocable trusts. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

Your parents must be extremely proud. Also try some hand written signs on telephone poles, that should also drum some business for you. If that doesnt work out , there are several people on my street that need someone to cut their lawn.

What does an estate plan usually cost?

Under what circumstances would you want to create a trust?

$2000 for the package on avereage. That gets you a living trust, a will, power of attorney document, I forget what else is in there.

The need for a living trust:

To keep your estate out of "probate" in the event of your demise.

Your estate = all of your assests
Your assests = bank accounts, property, 401k, life insurance, the list goes on.
Probate = your estate tied up in court for months or years, inaccessible to your beneficiaries, and the lawyers take a big chunk of it at the end.

At least that's how I understand it.

I think that Legal Zoom is a better option. How much time will I get with an lawyer for $550. Will I get a call back or any follow up meetings? Cheap price = cheap lawyer!

$550 sounds on the high side, cheaper to just down load the forms and get someone to rubber stamp it.

Looks like Lauren deleted her linkedin profile. Guess the legal profession didn't work out for her.

Blessed are the murderous.

Commercial real estate lawyers play a vital role in dealing and succeeding with various real estate deals. They help to save time and effort which is wasted in running behind legal cases.They can be referred for knowledgeable, professional and responsive services.

What kind of dimwit would entrust their finances to an attorney advertising on Fairfax Underground?
