Need Recommendation on Estate Planning Attorney in Pearland/Friendswood/Clear Lake

[southdakota_man]

Looking for a solid recommendation on an estate planning attorney. I called to make an appointment based on a recommendation from a friend this morning and the attorney had died. Ironic I know. Thanks in advance.

Send me your dad's info please. I haven't yet had occasion to bring in a CO estate planner, but someday I may.

So the wife and I met with one of the recommended estate planners above. They explained the difference between a will and trust and highly recommended a family trust given we have 2 minor children. They were very detailed and gave solid advice based on their experience. They quoted $5k to set up the will, trust, powers of attorney’s, Hippa and primary residence lien transfer. They also said they would set up the firearms trust for Class 3 at no additional charge.

Overall, it seemed they were very detailed and never felt they were misleading in anyway. However, I have no baseline and struggling with the $5k fee for setting this all up. Granted there will require 2 meetings and a good bit of time pulling documentation and paperwork together. Does $5k sound right for your guys’s experience? Appreciate the help and likely may need to visit a few other estate planners to get a good feel for it all.

Houston prices. There are reasons to set up trusts, and reasons not to. I’m happy to visit over the phone about it. I’ll send you my cell.

Agreed! I do estate planning also and it’s fairly rare that people need living trusts, in my opinion. Without knowing specifics, if you have minor children, I would suggest a testamentary trust as part of your will. Prices also seem high to me. I’d get a second opinion.
