I for some reason thought it would cost a lot more than that. I have no excuse now. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052877 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:14:17 +0000 MamaMoose 1052877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Well damn. Wish I knew about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052853 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:07:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1052853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: That's so bizarre! I know attorneys in a lot of areas but I don't think Iowa is one of those places... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052832 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:03:00 +0000 looch 1052832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: it's like a health plan, only with legal services. We signed up this year because we needed an attorney for our house closing. Since we have no limit to the services in a year, we will use them for our estate planning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052830 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:02:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 1052830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: $1k sounds fair to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052821 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:58:44 +0000 immabeetoo 1052821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: thanks! although, it's a little funny - <a href="http://www.iabar.net/AttorneyOnLine.nsf/results?ReadForm&#038;c2=&#038;a=Wills%20and%20Probate" rel="nofollow">http://www.iabar.net/AttorneyOnLine.nsf/results?ReadForm&#038;c2=&#038;a=Wills%20and%20Probate</a> it is organized by neither last name nor area, as far as I can tell. Seriously Iowa, shape up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052803 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:52:31 +0000 LindsayInNY 1052803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: That's insane! If you google STATENAME and "bar association," your local bar should have referrals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052786 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:49:07 +0000 immabeetoo 1052786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I'm not sure what that is? I asked DH to check with his HR department to make sure they don't offer any discounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052776 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:47:48 +0000 immabeetoo 1052776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I swear, this town is RIDICULOUS. Not only is no one/no business online, they never answer or return calls. Across the board; home repairs, fence install, hardwood refinishing. We keep joking that our interloper money must not be worth anything. </p> <p>@MamaMoose: After reading articles (and blog posts) until my eyes are crossing, I think that is what we're looking for too; a will with testementary trust, living will, and both financial and medical power of attorney. Thank you for sharing the dollar amount! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052773 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:47:19 +0000 MrsH 1052773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I'd say you got a good deal. My parents pad 1500 a couple of years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052770 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:47:14 +0000 looch 1052770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're using the employee legal plan, do you have that available? I think it's no cost, other than the monthly plan fee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052751 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:44:09 +0000 MamaMoose 1052751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: @scg00387: We eneded up getting a full plan (wills, living wills, financial PoA's, health care proxies, and a trust established for our daughter in the case of our death) and we paid $1,000. My parents are in Mass and they paid a similar price for the same things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052738 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:41:25 +0000 LindsayInNY 1052738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to know a reasonable price since it's going to vary considerably from state to state and what exactly you're looking for. =/</p> <p>@scg00387: If no one is returning your calls, I'd try someone else. I usually give someone two phone calls before I decide they're not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052720 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:38:35 +0000 mrskc 1052720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my gosh, I was just researching all this stuff. I wish someone had answered too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-1052707 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:36:20 +0000 immabeetoo 1052707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: haha I wish someone had answered you!! Still trying to wrap my head around what we specifically need and none of the lawyers who were recommended to me locally are returning my calls :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-197785 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 18:21:58 +0000 MamaMoose 197785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping in case any postathoners have a response. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-attorney-and-those-who-have-worked-with-estate-planning-attorneys#post-197230 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 10:42:29 +0000 MamaMoose 197230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What would you consider a fair price for a comprehensive estate plan (wills, living wills, health care proxies, and durable power of attorney) for both me and my husband. We are in TN if that makes a difference. </p>
