Wills and powers of attorney
Say who gets what, and who speaks for you
A will covers what happens to your things. A power of attorney and a health care directive cover what happens if you are ill and cannot speak for yourself. Most people need all three, and none of them takes long.
We draft them in plain language, explain every choice you are making, and sign them with you in the office, with witnesses and a notary so they hold up when someone has to rely on them.
What a package includes
A will that names an executor and a backup
A durable power of attorney for money and property
A health care directive that says what you want
A named guardian for children, if you have them
Signing day with witnesses and a notary
Flat fees
Your number, in writing, after a free consult
Every plan is one flat fee for drafting and signing. You get your own number in writing after the free first consult, before anything is drafted.
What sets the fee
Whether the plan is for one person or two, and whether you add a trust so the house or accounts skip probate.
What every plan includes
For one person, or matching plans for spouses or partners signed together on one day.

What's billed apart
Filing, recording and notary costs, where they apply, are named in your written quote. A trust adds the deed or account paperwork that funds it.
Before you ask
Three things people wonder about wills
Can I write my own will?
You can, and a clear one beats none. The trouble shows up later: a missing witness, a vague gift or a forgotten account can undo it. Our fee buys a document that works when your family needs it.
What is a power of attorney, really?
It is permission for someone you pick to handle your money and property if you cannot. Without one, your family may need a court to appoint someone, which takes longer and costs more.
What is a health care directive?
A short document that tells your doctors what care you do and do not want, and names the person who speaks for you when you cannot. It spares your family from guessing.
