Three Levels of Planning
Estate planning at Cruz Law is not one size fits all.
Blyss Cruz offers three levels of planning to suit your varying needs. From starter plans, primarily for families with young children and little in the way of financial wealth, to more robust plans for well-established families concerned with matters of asset protection, preservation, and increased growth, Cruz Law has you covered.
Generally, the fees for a married couple with kids who is not focused on keeping the family out of court range between $2,000 up to $8,000 on the high end for an extensive plan that provides significant asset protection after death, along with maximum protection for your assets from inadvertent loss to the State Department of Unclaimed Property or the Court process. It’s Blyss's opinion that if you are looking for less expensive planning, you may be better off reading up on the process and doing it yourself because you’ll likely get the same quality of planning online as you will with a lawyer charging fees that are less than what is offered here.
Cruz Law's pricing is at the intersection of affordability and effectiveness. During your Family Wealth Planning Session, Blyss will review the three planning levels with you, and you will choose your own fee based on your budget and the planning options that are most important to you and your family. Cruz Law's plans are focused on ensuring your family has somewhere to turn if, and when, something happens to you, and that your plan will work and you have real security, rather than the false security that comes with a cheap set of estate planning documents.
There truly is no one-size-fits-all choice. Blyss has created a process to educate you quickly and effectively so that you can make empowered, informed choices about what you want for the people you love so that you aren’t simply choosing the cheapest option because you don’t have any other basis for making your decisions.
