About the Estate Planning Cost Calculator
Estimates the cost of common estate planning documents — a will, revocable living trust, financial power of attorney, and healthcare directive — either as a bundled flat-fee package or priced individually, adjusted for how complex your estate is.
- Choose a bundled flat-fee package or individual documents priced separately.
- For a bundle, enter the package price; for individual documents, check which ones you need and enter each cost.
- Choose your estate's complexity — simple, moderate, or complex.
- Read the estimated total cost, with a document/complexity breakdown.
A simple will + POA + healthcare directive bundle priced at $2,000, at moderate complexity (×1.4), comes to $2,800. The same four documents priced individually ($900 will + $300 POA + $400 healthcare directive + $2,000 trust = $3,600) at complex (×2.2) comes to $7,920.
| Document | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Will | $900 |
| Financial power of attorney | $300 |
| Healthcare directive | $400 |
| Revocable living trust | $2,000 |
Complexity — a blended family, out-of-state or business-owned property, or a high-net-worth estate — routinely pushes real attorney costs above a simple flat-fee package once extra drafting, tax planning, or trust funding is involved. The complexity multiplier here is illustrative, not a real quote.
- • A bundled package is usually cheaper than buying the same documents individually, if a simple bundle covers what you need.
- • A revocable living trust costs more upfront than a will alone but can help an estate avoid probate.
- • Get an actual attorney quote once your situation involves a blended family, a business, or significant assets.
