If you want a living will or to add more to the will then expect to pay more. You can always ask for current clients he has and talk with them.

I got a legal plan during my last open enrollment for approx $15/month. Then I had a living trust, medical power of attorney, limited power of attorney, and DNR/living will drawn up for no extra co-pay. The only thing I had to pay for was a $13 charge from my county to change the title of my house to the living trust. I'd highly recommend a living trust to avoid probate difficulties.

If you are incapacitated to the point where you can not make any financial or medical decisions yourself, this will make your wishes clear as well as relieve some stress on your family. With regards to using a lawyer, I would suggest you do that since new laws as well as laws specific to your state may not be in the pre-packaged wills that you can buy online.

We had to add a section for a trusty and guardianship for the kids and we made it specific, because of our blended family. So it cost a little bit more. This was from our regular attorney (the one we use for all personal issues). It was a fair price and I feel we got good representation of our wants after our passing. Hopefully this is not for a while and the guardianship was done all in vain. We spent $250 for both of our wills to be drawn up.

I was so glad that my parents had one because we didn't have to go to probate as with a simple will. That can take up to three years and 10%+ the courts take. I also found legal zoom but then I ran across this site and it looks better, you get the trust and a living will which deals with the DNR for $199. I have to check it out some more first. http://www.livingtrustsontheweb.com/ I also have been looking but I need a Living trust.
