Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning Options
Wills and trusts allow you to decide how your assets are handled, who is responsible for carrying out your wishes, and how your family is protected. A properly structured estate plan can simplify administration, reduce uncertainty, and help avoid unnecessary complications later. We offer clear, structured options to help you put the right plan in place based on your goals and situation.
Create a plan that protects your assets, your family, and your intentions.
Your Options for Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning
Estate planning can be simple or highly customized depending on your goals, assets, and family structure. Some plans focus on straightforward wills and basic directives, while others involve trusts and more detailed planning to manage assets and avoid probate. The right approach depends on how much control and structure you want. The options below are designed to give you the level of planning that fits your situation—from foundational documents to more comprehensive estate strategies.
The Will Plan
$2500
(typical individual)
A legally sound foundation: clear instructions, empowered decision-makers, and clean execution.
*Additional services such as beneficiary deeds, expedited timelines, or additional revisions can be added for a separate fee. Trust-based planning, tax strategies, and complex structures are not included in this tier.
The Trust Plan
$3950
(typical individual)
A revocable trust plan designed to reduce probate friction and provide structured control, with clear funding guidance so the plan works in practice.
*This plan includes structured funding guidance, not full-service funding. Additional properties, institution coordination, tax planning, or complex structures require add-ons or expanded scope.

These services are structured as flat-fee, defined-scope legal products. This allows you to understand what is included, what is not, and when additional work may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and typically goes through probate. A trust can hold and manage assets during your lifetime and allow them to pass outside of probate. The right choice depends on your goals, the complexity of your assets, and how much structure you want in your plan.
Do I need a trust, or is a will enough?
For some people, a will provides sufficient structure. Others may benefit from a trust to avoid probate, manage assets more closely, or provide ongoing control over how assets are distributed. The right approach depends on your situation, including your assets, family structure, and long-term goals.
What happens if I don’t have a will or trust?
If you don’t have an estate plan, state law determines how your assets are distributed. This process may not reflect your preferences and can create additional complexity or delays for your family. A plan allows you to decide in advance how things should be handled.
When should I update my estate plan?
Estate plans should be reviewed and updated when major life events occur, such as marriage, divorce, having children, or significant changes in assets. Periodic updates help ensure your plan continues to reflect your intentions and remains effective.
