FIRST, Legal Fees are important to understand when hiring any attorney. In estate planning, many attorneys have different fee structures. Their fee structure should be explained to you before you commit to engaging their services. The different options include a flat fee for the services or documents requested, an hourly rate for the services provided or documents to be drafted, or a combination of flat fee for some things and hourly rate for other things. You want to make sure that you are advised if any estimate or quote provided will change. This can happen if additional services, not initially contemplated, become necessary. I explain to my clients any financial consequences resulting from an additional request or need that should arise. The most important thing any attorney should do as relates to fees is keep the lines of communication open and clear.
