Why It Matters
When documents are created in isolation, key instructions can conflict or leave important gaps. A package approach creates consistency and reduces avoidable risk.
Comprehensive planning now can make future decisions easier for your family and support smoother administration later.
Cost and Payment Plans
Every package is quoted as a flat fee before any work begins, so you know the total in advance rather than watching an hourly meter.
If paying all at once is the obstacle, it does not have to be. Payment plans are available for my attorney fee, starting as low as $50 per month. Cost is the single most common reason people leave estate planning undone for years, and a monthly plan is usually enough to remove it.
There is very little else to pay. New York charges no filing fee for a will, power of attorney, or health care proxy, so for most families the attorney fee is the entire cost of the plan. If your plan involves deeding real property into a trust, the county clerk charges a recording fee, which I will quote before we proceed. Costs paid to anyone other than me are due up front and are not part of a payment plan.
