$7,000. That's the average cost of one of our trust-based estate plans. We don't hide it. We're not ashamed of it. In fact, we know it's a phenomenal value for you and your family. The average cost of probate alone is more than double that, not to mention estate taxes you didn't plan for. And the cost of a bad estate plan? Well, that's priceless. By working with 20West Legal, you're investing in protection, peace of mind, and, ultimately, your legacy.

There are certain things in life that are just worth paying for, and an expertly crafted, completely customized estate plan is one of them. Think about it; you wouldn't go cheap on...
It's nice knowing that when you want your car to stop, it will — same with being certain that your wishes will be honored and assets distributed after you die.
When it comes to life-and-death decisions, it's best not to mess around. You deserve to choose who handles your affairs, just like who operates on you.
Jumping out of a plane is scary enough — you shouldn't have to worry if your parachute will open. Similarly, an estate plan you can trust is real peace of mind.
"I want the cheapest ladder money can buy for this very important thing I'm about to do," said no one ever. Online wills and trusts = world's worst ladder.
At 20West Legal, we charge a flat fee for our services. Once we work with you to figure out what you need, we give you a price and then stick to it.

Schedule My CallThe bulk of what we do falls into one of the categories below, but we are a fully equipped Personal Family Lawyer® firm, prepared to handle nearly every aspect of estate planning – from the straightforward to the especially intricate.
Control who inherits what and when. No confusion. No uncertainty. No debate. Customized documents comprehensively reflect your wishes and your situation.
Revocable or irrevocable – keep your assets out of probate, streamline the process for your family when you’re gone, and pursue advanced tax and inheritance strategies.
Ensure someone can manage your finances and make legal decisions if you can’t. Avoid brutal family fights and court nightmares when you’re most vulnerable.
Make your medical wishes clear, so your family members know exactly what you want and don’t have to guess during the worst moments of their lives.
Keep more money in your family’s hands, not the state or federal government’s, by leveraging legal tactics to minimize what you pay in estate taxes.
Life changes – your plan should, too. We update your documents as your family grows, your wealth changes, and laws evolve. We proactively review your plan every three years, and your family has someone to call when the time comes, or whenever we can help.
