I finally talked to a lawyer today about estate planning - about 7 years later than I planned to (that's when our first kid was born). It feels good to have the ball rolling on this. I hadn't considered a trust as something I would need for estate planning. I figured we didn't have a big enough estate to need one, but it sounds pretty normal in our area to avoid probate delays and direct money appropriately. Very glad to be working with a professional who understands everything way more than I do and can explain it to me in easy-to-understand terms.

Our lawyer is currently quoting $44 for everything, but that's because almost all of it is covered through my insurance. I have no idea what the cost is without that coverage. I'll ask the lawyer next time we chat.

I have no idea what the cost is without that coverage. I'll ask the lawyer next time we chat. We have finished the process. Our lawyer did everything needed for a Will, Trust, Durable Power of Attorney, and Health Care Power of Attorney for myself and my wife. Like she quoted, it was $44 for some county filing that wasn't covered by my insurance. She said if we had done it out of pocket, it would've been ~$1500 (low cost of living area). We have peace of mind that it's finally done 7 years later than it should have been (when our daughter was born).
