You should do a proper estate plan. Mine was a very simple one I did for myself and my wife maybe 30 years ago. Recently I paid a young lawyer from down the street about $1,500 to do a new will and trust from scratch. Glad I did,
Many things had changed in our state since I went to law school. So it was a fair amount of work; I proof-read everything four or five times. Read a number of law review articles online. The lawyer provided several witnesses and a notary who came to our our house for the signing. His charge for his services was only about $1,500. The documents were about 70 pages long. Of course it was pretty simple as we have no kids to look after anymore.
Next step, getting wills and asset protection for my kids.
