How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Codicil in North Carolina

In 2026, a personal client in North Carolina sought assistance with drafting a codicil to their will in order to change the distribution percentages for two beneficiaries. The client aimed to ensure that these changes were meticulously documented and was looking for a licensed attorney to help finalize the details, although the exact percentages had yet to be determined. Additionally, the client requested a flat fee proposal for these services, emphasizing the need for clarity and precision in the legal documentation. As a result, the client received two proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $450 to $750. All proposals were submitted in a timely manner to meet the client's requested deadline of less than one week.
