How to choose an estate attorney in Greenwich

- For probate, ask about the realistic timeline and total cost for a Greenwich-area estate before you engage.
- Make sure they'll keep your plan current as laws and your family change, and how updates are billed.
- Read reviews and ask for references from recent Greenwich estate clients.

- Do you focus on estate planning and probate specifically?

- How do updates work as laws or my family change?

Frequently asked questions
How much does a will or living trust cost in Greenwich?
Many Greenwich estate attorneys charge flat fees, roughly $300 to $1,200 for a simple will package and $1,500 to $4,000 for a revocable living trust. Probate work is often billed hourly. Ask for a written fee agreement up front.
Do I need a will or a living trust?
It depends on your assets and goals. A will is simpler and cheaper; a living trust can avoid probate and keep matters private. A short consultation with a Greenwich estate attorney will tell you which fits.
How much does probate cost and how long does it take?
Probate cost and timeline vary by estate and county. Simple Greenwich-area estates can take several months, while complex ones run over a year. Ask the attorney for a realistic estimate for your situation.
What is the difference between estate planning and elder law?
