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

In 2025, a personal client in Washington posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a revocable living trust. The client aimed to establish the trust to hold ownership of their assets while serving as the trustee. They expressed a desire to protect these assets from creditors and probate, and planned to include various assets such as their home, vehicles, and bank accounts, with the ultimate goal of distributing them to family members upon their passing. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $499 to $6,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over one week.
