How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Living Trust in Texas

In 2023, an individual in Texas posted a project seeking assistance with the drafting of a living trust. The client aimed to establish a revocable living trust designating themselves as the grantor and trustee, with their minor son as the beneficiary. They intended to transfer their house and brokerage account into the trust while also incorporating provisions for professional trustees, trust protectors, and a care manager to ensure comprehensive asset management and oversight. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $2,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
