How do you charge for your services?
For your estate planning needs:
Our fee is based on each specific document we prepare for you (Will, Trust, Durable Power of Attorney, etc.) and depends on the complexity of the documents and time spent. Typically, the cost of the first office conference is included in the fee for the documents we prepare. The fee is payable at the time of signing these documents. If no new documents are needed, you pay only an hourly fee for the time spent with the attorney.
For your estate administration needs:
Our fee for handling an estate is typically based on the time and expertise required to complete the administration of the estate. Each estate is unique, but we are generally able to provide an estimate of our fee during the initial consultation. We charge an hourly fee for the initial consultation, but this fee is included in the quoted price to handle the estate. The fee is payable near the end of the estate administration.
For your nursing home Medicaid needs:
For Medicaid planning in advance, we bill on an hourly basis. For a Medicaid gifting plan or a Medicaid application, we generally charge a flat fee which is based on the complexity of the case. This fee does not cover the cost of any appeals.
