How much does it cost to have wills or a trust prepared?
Our usual fees for simple wills and durable powers of attorney for a couple are $400.00. For a family with minor children, wills for a couple that include testamentary trust and guardianship provisions and durable powers of attorney routinely cost $700.00. A revocable living trust typically costs $1,000.00. This fee includes durable powers of attorney, deeds transferring any real estate to the trust and “pour-over” wills. We always include Oregon Advance Directives with any will or trust without any extra charge. If we recommend a will or a trust, you will know before we start to prepare your documents how much the legal fees will be. If your situation is more complicated or involves more legal work than a typical situation, we may charge more. However we would tell you how much it would cost and explain why it is more than what we usually charge before we begin any work on your behalf.
