Fee Structures | NW Legacy Law

Pricing Philosophy: Simplicity and Transparency

At NW Legacy Law, we aim for clarity and predictability in our fee structure right from the start. Our goal is to ensure that both you and our firm have a clear understanding and agreement on the fees for the services provided, making the legal process as straightforward as possible.

Fixed-Price Engagements

Fixed-price engagements are based on a clear scope and duration of the project. This model is often applied to:

Consultations: Initial consultations are available for a fixed fee, ranging between $350-750, allowing potential clients to discuss their legal needs without unexpected costs.
Estate Planning: We offer fixed prices for drafting documents such as powers of attorney, health care directives, wills, and revocable living trusts, tailoring the cost based on the complexity added by specific tax provisions or asset protection strategies.
Estate Settlement: We offer fixed prices for many probate and trust administration engagements with the fees and costs based upon your objectives and the complexity of the administration.

Hourly Engagements

For projects that do not lend themselves to fixed-price engagements, we charge on an hourly basis. This flexibility allows us to address:

Complex Negotiations: The time needed can vary significantly based on the of the complexities of the people involved and intricacies of the matter.
Probate and Trust Administrations: Some probate and trust administrations may be better suited to hourly engagements based upon local court rules, complexity, or novelty of the administration.

Payment Methods

For your convenience, we accept most payment methods, including cash, checks, and credit cards.

1 Consultation

We begin with an initial consultation to discuss your needs and goals. During this meeting, we gather essential information to tailor our approach specifically to your situation.

2 Design

For many, our consultation concludes with either a proposal for your estate plan design or representation of you with the settlement of your loved one’s estate. For either situation, we design a detailed plan that focuses on your objectives and specific legal requirements, ensuring each element aligns with your goals.

3 Implementation

We help you execute and implement your proposed estate plan or settlement of your loved one’s estate. We review and adjust this plan as necessary to ensure your goals and specific legal requirements are implemented.
