How to choose an estate attorney in Manhattan

  • Ask whether wills and trusts are flat-fee and what that covers (funding the trust, revisions, directives).

  • For probate, ask about the realistic timeline and total cost for a Manhattan-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 Manhattan estate clients.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What's the realistic timeline for my Manhattan matter?
  • Is this a flat fee or hourly, and what exactly does it cover?
  • Do you focus on estate planning and probate specifically?
  • Will you help fund the trust and store the documents?
  • How do updates work as laws or my family change?

Frequently asked questions

How much does a will or living trust cost in Manhattan?

Many Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan-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?

Estate planning focuses on wills, trusts, and passing on assets; elder law also covers long-term care, Medicaid planning, and guardianship. Many Manhattan firms handle both.
