Estate Planning

What can I do to minimize the costs of estate planning?

A lawyer or other professional generally charges by the hour for working on your estate plan. Ask about fees at your first consultation and inquire how much your total estate plan might cost. The more time you invest in locating relevant documents and putting your wishes in writing, the less preparatory work your advisor will have to do.
