Arizona Estate Plan Costs & Services

Most estate planning attorneys won't tell you what you're getting until after you've hired them. And most won't tell you what it costs until they send you the bill.

We do things differently.

Today I want to show you exactly what you receive when you hire KEYTLaw to prepare your custom estate plan — and exactly what it costs. No mystery. No pressure. Just complete transparency.

Our Fees

We don't hide the ball. Here's exactly what we charge:

• $4,497 — married couple or two partners
• $3,497 — one person
• +$1,000 optional add-on — lifetime asset-protected trusts for your heirs that shield their inheritance from creditors, ex-spouses, and bankruptcy courts

Special discount: If you formed a Gold LLC with us within the last 120 days, you receive a $1,000 discount.

Compare that to the cost of probate. Our typical fee for a simple, uncontested Arizona probate is $5,000 — and that takes a minimum of five months. Your estate plan costs about the same, lasts a lifetime, and spares your family everything probate puts them through.

One flat fee. 36 documents and services. A lifetime of protection.
