Yes — Wheaton families make up a meaningful portion of our estate planning practice. We’ve drafted wills, trusts, and POAs for Wheaton residents across multiple generations.
Standard plans (will, trust, POAs, advance directives) are flat-fee. We quote exact pricing at your free consultation based on complexity and family situation.
Depends on your situation. Most families with real estate, minor children, or assets above $200K benefit from trust-based planning. Will-only plans work for simpler situations. We tell you honestly at consultation.
Typical timeline: initial consultation (Day 1), drafts ready in 1-2 weeks, signing ceremony shortly after. Most plans complete within a month.
Most consultations happen by phone or video. Signing requires either in-office or remote notary process. We accommodate however works best.
