[quote=Jazzman]$1000 is expensive, but it what attorneys charge. The question is, do you need a living trust? They are usually for estates of $2m upwards. A Will is essential, more straight forward and cheaper.[/quote]
I agree with this. The big advantage a trust has is getting rid of probate for assets held by the trust.
But most people fail to transfer their assets into the trust. (bank accounts, etc.)
The cost from attorney A most probably have been because she’s in the business for quite some time and this equates to her professional fee. Ask attorney B with regards to QDOT. Take note of his answer. Ask a 3rd attorney. If all is the same, I think attorney B will be sufficient. Estate planning attorneys have different rates. Same goes with other jobs that ask for professional fees.
