A few years ago, Amy Pittman prepared a will for me for $300. At the time, she offered to prepare a package including a will, medical directive (living will), and power of attorney documents for $600. I'm not sure what you mean by a living trust, but if you want a revocable trust for all or your assets, I think the cost would depend on how complicated you want to get, and it could get very expensive.

There are many elder lawyers here with good reputations. I would call several and ask for a ballpark fee. They’ll ask a few questions as everyone’s situation is different. I’ve been to seminars by Mary Trotter and Kathryn Linn. Both seemed knowledgeable and honest. You should have no trouble finding a competent attorney at a reasonable fee. Good luck.

Have had extensive dealings with Susan Sullivan, in Oxford. She has been exceedingly thorough and helpful in estate planning and related issues. You are wise to contact a number of offices before deciding with whom you might work.

We used JoAnn Waterfield. 259-352-5959. Lives in TV and did a wonderful job. If I remember correctly, cost was $1500 +/-.
