FAQs

What does estate planning include at Copper State Planning?

Estate planning includes a comprehensive set of legal documents tailored to your life stage. Depending on the plan, this covers standard wills, medical and financial powers of attorney, advance directives, and testamentary trust provisions to protect assets and minor children.

How should I compare estate planning fees between firms?

Compare fees by looking at the comprehensive value rather than just the initial price tag. Ensure the quote includes all necessary documents—like powers of attorney and health directives—rather than charging for them separately, and check if the fee covers asset transfer guidance and future support.

Pricing is structured into tiered levels based on the complexity of your estate and family situation. We offer specific flat-rate packages for individuals and families, ranging from basic Will Plans to comprehensive Wealth Plans that assist with asset inventory and trust funding.

Can you explain the different estate planning plan levels?

We offer three main levels: the Will Plan for straightforward estates, the Trust Plan for avoiding probate and protecting inheritance, and the Wealth Plan for complex estates requiring detailed asset inventory and beneficiary designation assistance.

What is the difference between Will and Trust costs?

Standard plans include a Will, Health Care Power of Attorney, General Durable Power of Attorney, and Advance Directives. Plans for parents also include Temporary Guardianship delegations (6-month powers) and Permanent Guardianship Nominations and emergency contact cards.

What are the benefits of professional estate planning vs. DIY wills?

Professional planning prevents unintended outcomes that common DIY errors cause. Unlike a simple form, we craft comprehensive plans that account for tax implications, asset protection, and complex family dynamics, offering flexibility that generic forms cannot match.
