How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Deed of Trust in Georgia

In 2023, an individual in Georgia sought assistance with drafting a deed of trust as part of a financial arrangement involving a family member. The client had been covering the bills for his brother-in-law for an extended period and recognized the importance of formalizing their agreement to ensure his interests were protected in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as death, bankruptcy, or divorce. He needed guidance not only in creating the document itself but also on the necessary next steps, including notarization and filing, as well as how to accommodate potential additional borrowing. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed attorney, with a flat fee bid priced at $500. The proposal was submitted promptly to meet the client's deadline of one week.
