How much does an estate plan cost?

A full estate plan package typically runs about 1,000 to 3,000 dollars when prepared by an attorney. That usually bundles a will, powers of attorney, a healthcare directive, and sometimes a living trust. Simpler needs cost less, while complex estates with trusts and tax planning cost more. Compared to the time, taxes, and family stress a good plan prevents, it's generally a worthwhile investment.
