Roughly how much should it cost to have a basic will and durable powers of attorney drawn up?
I have a relatively simple estate -- single, no kids, no crazy relatives hiding in the woodwork, no quirky assets (unless you count the dog) -- and prefer not to go the DIY Will route. I would like to know what is a reasonable amount to pay to have a will and durable medical and financial powers of attorney drawn up for someone like me with a relatively straightforward estate. I have updated all my beneficiary info on investment accounts. My net worth is less than $1 million. I have 20% equity in my home and, other than the mortgage, have no debts. Are we talking a couple hundred bucks or a couple thousand? And, really, would there much of a difference between the end product?
