We See Both Sides
As closing attorneys, we get the file after the mess — the estate that cannot sell the house, the six heirs and one missing signature, the family that waits a year for a court to release what was always theirs. We started Parkway Planning to prevent the messes we kept inheriting.
A revocable living trust passes your home and property to your family without probate: no court, no waiting. And because we close real estate every day, your plan is built by attorneys who know exactly what happens to a house when its owner is gone — because we are the ones at the table when it does.
One Flat Fee. A Complete Plan.
A complete plan for a married couple is a complete set of instruments — your trust, a pour-over will for each of you, financial powers of attorney, advance directives for health care, HIPAA authorizations, personal property memoranda, the deed transferring your home into the trust, a certification of trust for your banks, asset-by-asset funding instructions, a plain-language summary written for your family, and instructions for your survivor on exactly what to do first.
The deed matters most. A trust that does not hold your house does not keep your house out of probate — so we prepare and record it as part of every plan, rather than leaving it to you afterward. We record deeds every day, so this part is easy for you: we prepare it, record it, and confirm your home is in the trust before we’re done.
Where your circumstances call for them, your trust also carries provisions for a family business, for children of a prior relationship, or for a beneficiary who receives disability benefits.
Flat Fees. Quoted Before You Pay Anything.
These are complete estate plans — your trust, pour-over will, financial power of attorney, advance directive for health care, and the deed placing your home in the trust, prepared and executed as one complete package. Every family’s situation is different, and different situations call for different legal strategies. So we price plans as flat fees, disclosed up front — complete plans from $3,000 for an individual and $4,500 for a married couple, with the fee adjusted for complexity where your circumstances call for it: provisions for a family business, for a blended family, or for a beneficiary with special needs.
Your exact fee is quoted before you pay anything, and it never changes after — no hourly billing, and free changes for 90 days after signing.
Three Ways to Protect Your Family
Every family should have a plan. Not every family needs the same one. Start where you are — and if you step up later, every dollar you have paid counts.
