What an estate plan costs
We quote a flat fee, and your attorney confirms it at your consultation before any work begins. You do not need to choose a package before you book.
Trust-based estate plan: starting at $1,500 for one person, $2,000 for two. Each person receives a revocable living trust (a joint trust for two people), a will, a durable financial power of attorney, a health care directive and a certificate of trust, plus supporting forms and the preparation and recording of one property deed.
Will-based estate plan: $1,000 for one person, $1,500 for two. Each person receives a will, a durable financial power of attorney, a health care directive and supporting forms. This plan does not include a revocable living trust or deed work.
Already have a plan? Updates and reviews of documents prepared by another attorney start at $400. Advanced planning, such as special needs trusts and asset protection, is quoted separately. Transferring assets into your trust beyond the one included deed, and any service outside your package, is discussed and quoted before work begins. See our full pricing.
Will or trust: how to choose in Utah
A will names who receives your property and who raises your minor children, but it does not avoid probate. A revocable living trust lets the assets you place in it generally pass to your family without probate, and you can change it as your life changes. An estate planning lawyer can tell you which one fits your family, and many Utah families end up with a trust and a pour-over will that catches anything left outside it.
Utah has its own rules. A Utah will must be signed and witnessed by two people to be valid (Utah Code § 75-2-502). A trust only controls the assets that are properly titled in it, so signing the trust is the start of the work, not the end. Utah does not impose a state estate tax or inheritance tax, so for many families the planning questions are about probate, decision makers and protecting beneficiaries.

Your estate plan in four steps
Talk with an attorney. Start with a free consultation. You share your family, your priorities and your concerns, and we recommend a plan.
Complete a short questionnaire. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
Review your drafts. Your attorney sends your documents before your signing appointment. Initial drafts are typically ready 2 to 3 days after we receive your information.
Review together and sign. We go through the documents with you, make final adjustments and complete the signing.

Questions about estate planning in Utah
How much does an estate planning lawyer cost in Utah?
At Legacy Peak, a trust-based estate plan starts at $1,500 for one person and $2,000 for two, and a will-based plan starts at $1,000 and $1,500. Your attorney confirms a flat fee at your free consultation. A plan does not typically cost more than the starting price, but more involved planning or added services can, and you receive the total flat fee before work begins.
Do I need a will or a trust?
Start with your goals, not the document types. Tell us who you want to protect and what you want to happen, and your attorney will recommend the plan that fits. Many Utah families choose a revocable living trust with a pour-over will.
Can you update an estate plan another attorney prepared?
Yes. Bring your existing documents so we can review them and recommend either a targeted update or a full revision. Updates and reviews start at $400.
What happens during the free consultation?
You speak directly with an attorney about your family and your goals and receive a flat-fee quote. It usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and carries no obligation. You do not need to gather detailed financial records for a first plan.
Do I need to come to an office?
No. Phone consultations are available throughout Utah, or you can meet in person in Draper or Kaysville.
If you are ready to put a plan in place, or you want to understand your options first, we offer a free consultation with a Legacy Peak attorney. Choose a time that works for you.
