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

In 2024, a personal client in Missouri posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a revocable living trust. The client aimed to leave assets, including savings, life insurance, and a home, to their children while avoiding probate. With concerns about future amendments to the trust and challenges related to selling a house held in the trust, the client sought clarity on the process and steps needed to establish the trust. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $2,000 to $3,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
