Why Flat Fees Change Everything
Most attorneys bill by the hour. That means every question costs you money. We think that's backwards.
No Meter Running
Ask questions freely. We're not watching the clock. Your fee is your fee — period.
Aligned Incentives
We're motivated to get it right, not to bill more hours. Your success is our success.
Budget Certainty
Know exactly what you're investing before you start. No surprises, no uncomfortable invoices.
Relationship-First
We're building a long-term relationship, not maximizing a single transaction.

The Real Cost of "Saving Money"
That $150 LegalZoom will might cost your family everything.
⚠️When DIY Plans Fail
- →$15,000–$50,000 — Average Texas probate cost when a will fails or is contested
- →6–18 months — Average probate timeline before your family can access assets
- →70% failure rate — DIY estate plans that don't work when families need them
- →Family conflict — Ambiguous language leads to disputes, lawsuits, and permanent rifts
✅When You Invest in Protection
- →Skip probate entirely — Living trusts transfer assets immediately, privately, and for free
- →Kids protected tonight — Legal guardian designations that work in an emergency, not buried in a will
- →Plan that evolves — Ongoing reviews ensure your plan always reflects your current life
- →Peace of mind — You'll know your family is taken care of, no matter what happens
Estate planning isn't an expense. It's insurance against chaos, conflict, and the state deciding what happens to your kids.
Pricing Questions? We've Got Answers.
Why flat fees instead of hourly billing?
Because you shouldn't have to wonder if asking a question will cost you $50. Flat fees align our incentives with yours — we want to get your plan right, not bill more hours. You know exactly what you're paying before we start, and that number doesn't change.
What if my situation is complicated?
That's exactly what the free planning session is for. We'll discuss your specific situation and I'll tell you exactly which plan fits — or if you need something custom. Complex situations don't automatically mean higher prices; they just mean we need to understand your goals first.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Every family deserves protection, regardless of cash flow timing. We offer flexible payment plans that let you spread your investment over 3-6 months with no interest. We'll work with you to find a payment schedule that works.
What's included in 'trust funding assistance'?
This is where most estate plans fail. A trust only works if your assets are actually in it. We don't just hand you documents — we help you retitle your accounts, real estate, and investments into your trust. We guide you through every step, provide the exact letters and forms you need, and check in to make sure it's done. Most traditional attorneys skip this entirely (or charge extra for it).
Why is LegalZoom so much cheaper?
LegalZoom sells documents. We create plans. A LegalZoom will costs $89-$199 — but it's a generic template that doesn't account for Texas law, doesn't include guardian designations that actually work in an emergency, and offers zero guidance on what to put in it. More importantly, 70% of DIY estate plans fail when families need them (wrong execution, outdated terms, unfunded trusts). That $150 savings can cost your family $15,000+ in probate and years of legal battles. For something this important, you want a real attorney who knows your family.
What if I already have documents from another attorney?
Great! Bring them to your free planning session. We'll review what you have and tell you honestly whether it needs updating or if you're all set. If it's working, we'll tell you. If there are gaps (outdated terms, unfunded trust, missing Kids Protection Plan), we'll explain exactly what needs to change and what it would cost. No pressure, just clarity.
What does 'lifetime document updates' mean?
Life changes. You have another kid, get divorced, move states, buy a business, inherit money — your plan needs to evolve. With our Legacy and Dynasty plans, you can update your documents as life changes. We charge our then-current rates for updates, but you're never starting from scratch. Most clients need a review every 3-5 years.
Can both spouses be covered in one plan?
Absolutely — that's the standard. All of our plans cover both spouses/partners together. You'll each have your own documents, coordinated to work together as a comprehensive family plan. Married couples are always billed as one plan, not two.
What if we're not married?
No problem. Unmarried couples actually need estate planning even MORE than married couples, because Texas law doesn't give you any default protections. We work with unmarried partners, domestic partners, and any family structure. The process is the same; we'll just make sure your documents properly protect your relationship.
Is the planning session really free?
100% free. No credit card required. No obligation. It's 30 minutes where we learn about your family, explain what would happen today if something happened to you, and tell you exactly what you need. Even if you decide Legacy Dad isn't right for you, you'll leave more informed than you came in.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
If you're not completely satisfied with your estate plan, we'll work with you until you are — at no additional cost. We're not done until you feel completely protected and at peace.
That's the Legacy Dad promise.
