How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Revocable Living Trust in New Jersey

In 2025, a personal client in New Jersey sought assistance with drafting a revocable living trust. The client aimed to place their primary residence, currently owned jointly with tenants-in-the-entirety, into the trust for eventual transfer to a charitable beneficiary upon the trustees' passing. This project reflects a clear focus on effective estate planning to ensure a smooth transition of assets to the intended recipient. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed attorney, with a flat fee bid of $6,000. The proposal was submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week, ensuring timely progress on their estate planning goals.
