Estate planning in San Diego typically costs between $1,500 and $7,000, depending on the complexity of your estate and the services needed.

 The cost is influenced by factors such as the size and complexity of your estate, the type of estate planning documents required (wills, trusts, etc.), and whether you need ongoing legal services.

A basic estate plan includes a will, a living trust, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives. Costs vary depending on which documents are included in your plan.

While it’s possible to create an estate plan without an attorney, working with a lawyer ensures that your documents are legally sound and tailored to your specific needs, which could affect the cost.

Creating a living trust can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the complexity and the attorney’s fees. Keep in mind that a revocable living trust is only one component to an effective estate plan.

There are no hidden fees after our attorneys have quoted you the flat rate in your consultation. Additional costs that may arise, and will be quoted ahead of any work performed, are additional deed recordings, advanced estate planning, and advanced funding assistance, among others.

Yes, at Opelon LLP we offer free consultations or can provide an estimate based on your specific needs and the complexity of your estate. 

Many estate plans include strategies to avoid probate, such as setting up a living trust. While this adds to upfront costs, it can save significant time and money for your heirs later.

Estate planning for high-net-worth individuals often involves tax planning to minimize estate, gift, and inheritance taxes. These services typically increase the overall cost of your estate plan and will be quoted in your consultation.

At Opelon, Estate planning for families with minor children does not increase the cost of your estate plan. Our family estate planning packing  includes creating guardianship designations and establishing trusts to manage assets for the children’s future.
