I've talked to a few lawyers already. The last one was asking $2250 for the package - LT, pour over will for each, personal property instruction, a financial power of attorney, health care directive for each, and a community property agreement. Fairly complete package, but I don't think we liked each other. She wants $250 for each additional property added, $450 for any out of state property added. Adding a property to a trust is a pretty simple process. So I don't value her efforts at those levels and my first inclination was to do that aspect myself. That got me thinking, why not just do the whole bloody package as a DIY. It is certainly not all that intimidating, having worked through a few Estates already. I look at it as a process that would be ongoing in need of updating and improvement as time passes.
