How the 5 Halifax estate planning lawyers fall across our trust tiers.
Typical cost: A will plus powers of attorney is often a flat fee (commonly a few hundred dollars each, illustrative), with more for trusts or complex estates. What moves the price: Simple will versus trusts and tax planning, the size of the estate, and whether ongoing advice is included.
Estate planning is private-pay, but a well-drafted will and powers of attorney can save the family far more later by avoiding delays, disputes, and unnecessary tax. Keep documents current after any major change.
