Frequently asked questions
How much does a will or living trust cost in Kokomo?
Many Kokomo 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 Kokomo estate attorney will tell you which fits.
How much does probate cost and how long does it take?

What is the difference between estate planning and elder law?
