Estate Planning for Fort Washington, Ambler and Montgomery County, PA

The decision to utilize the services of an experienced Pennsylvania estate planning attorney to help get your affairs in order is a wise one.  For many Montgomery County, PA residents, the first step in the estate planning process is to select an attorney to assist them.  I find that my estate planning practice receives many inquires regarding ways to save on legal fees.  We assist individuals and families in Fort Washington, Ambler, Blue Bell, Lansdale, and the rest of Montgomery County, PA.  Here are a few tips I suggest regarding how to save money on attorney fees:

• Perform your own research - do some legal research prior to meeting with an estate planning lawyer.  If you can familiarize yourself with basic estate planning concepts, you can skip over some of the introductory portions of your meeting.
• Seek alternative fee arrangements - not all Montgomery County, PA estate planning attorneys charge hourly rates.  Some charge a flat fee for the preparation of certain estate planing documents, such as a Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, or Living Will.
• Speak up - tell your lawyer during your first meeting that you want to keep costs at a minimum.  A good estate planning attorney will be able to provide you with choices and flexible planning strategies that will lower the total cost to you.
• Choose a small firm - small law firms typically charge much less than large firms for estate planning documents.
• Pre-paid legal plans - some employers offer pre-paid legal plans as an optional employment benefit.  Many of these legal plans cover the preparation of basic estate planning documents, including a Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney and Living Will.
