Attorney fees for estate planning are often more comparable to online services than people expect — especially when you factor in the cost of fixing documents that weren’t set up correctly in the first place. Every Cooper Law engagement includes document drafting and a written summary of recommended next steps. Asset titling, deed preparation, beneficiary designation changes, and coordination with other advisors are separate engagements — see add-on services below.
On timelines: Estimates depend on client responsiveness, document complexity, and current caseload. The clock starts when Cooper Law has received all completed intake materials — not from the date of initial inquiry. All timelines are subject to attorney availability. Clients who return intake materials promptly typically complete their plan at the shorter end of the range.
Individual documents for clients who need something specific, fast, or who don’t yet need a full plan.
