How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Revocable Living Trust in Massachusetts

In 2023, an individual in Massachusetts posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a revocable living trust for themselves and their spouse. The client aimed to set up a trust with themselves, their spouse, and their four adult children as trustees, while also identifying distribution options for the beneficiaries. They required guidance on several important aspects, including funding through their residences, vehicles, financial accounts, and household possessions, as well as understanding how potential income streams might factor into the trust's funding. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $5,000, submitted to meet the requested deadline of one week.
