Our one-hour Life & Legacy Planning Session® is $750. However, if you complete the required homework documents before your appointment and sign a Commitment Agreement, the $750 Planning Session fee will be waived. In addition, you will receive $250 off the estate planning package you choose.

  • Your homework involves gathering and completing the required documents needed for your first Planning Session to begin the estate planning process. The homework will be sent to you directly after you schedule.
