Prices, scope & sources

Attorney figures are a typical range for published flat-fee trust packages, not a market-wide price. Many firms charge more, and what a package includes (a deed, recording, funding help) varies.

Trust & Will lists its trust plan at $499 for one person and $599 for a couple, attorney support at $299 for a year, and a mobile notary through its partner at $170 to $210. Its deed-transfer partner lists $140 per deed plus local recording fees; deed notarization is $100 more. Guidance is distinct from completing transfers. Sources checked September 14, 2026.
