Estate Planning New Jersey

Should I use an estate planning attorney?

Attorneys provide piece of mind that your estate plan is done correctly and will not be successfully contested, which could end up costing your estate much more in legal fees than initially saved. That piece of mind may be worth using an attorney but they are not required.

If you choose not to use an attorney, one of many online legal document preparers is Legal Zoom.

Personal referrals

Your financial and insurance advisors, along with family and friends, are a good source for a personal referral.

Estate planning costs

Last Will packages typically range from $300-$1,000 depending on the attorney and location.

Living Trust packages typically range from under a thousand dollars to several thousand dollars depending on the attorney, your location and complexity of your estate plan.
