How do you charge for your services?
If you are new to estate planning or preparing ahead of time, you may want to inquire how you will be charged for the legal services and representation you receive. Some attorneys and law firms require a retainer or an upfront fee to take on new clients. In some cases, estate planning is done at an hourly rate, while other estate planning tasks may be completed for a flat rate, depending on the legal team or attorney you retain.
