Estate Planning Costs

Estate Planning Costs – Clear, Flat-Fee Pricing

One of the most common questions people have about estate planning is simple: “How much is this going to cost?”

At Checketts Law, we believe you should get a clear answer. We offer flat-fee pricing for estate planning services. That means no hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and no running clock — you know the cost upfront before you move forward.

The cost of an estate plan depends on several factors, including whether you need a will or a trust, the complexity of your assets, and family considerations. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing, but we do believe in clarity.

Most clients fall into one of two main categories: a simple will-based plan or a more comprehensive trust-based plan (which most clients ultimately choose). Our flat-fee model eliminates uncertainty so you can focus on making good decisions.

The cost of not planning can be far higher than the cost of doing it right. Without proper planning, your family may face probate costs, legal fees, delays, and court involvement for incapacity. A well-designed estate plan often saves far more than it costs.

When you work with Checketts Law, you are not just paying for documents — you are getting a plan designed specifically for your situation, clear explanations, and guidance on proper implementation.
