Do you have a trust?

[Tim]

We got rid of the revocable trust, life insurance trust and wills. Facts changed.
Replaced with extremely simple wills. Everything to spouse and then split 50/50 to the kids.

We have both revocable and irrevocable trusts. You didn't allow that option. We've had them long enough I don't remember the cost but I suspect a few $K

My wife and I have wills that are quite old and need to be updated because they create trusts and have guardians for the (now adult) children. The updates should be more straight-forward that the old wills, but we will probably also create a revocable living trust for the rental properties in preparation for owning them out of state since we plan to move when I retire. A trust helps in that scenario to avoid probate in two states.
Quoted price from lawyer for two wills and one trust $1000. I can do it with Nolo software for no additional cost over the software, which I bought for $50. However, my wife won't trust them.

Isn't it state dependent? My understanding is that in some states it does you little to no good.

"living trust" has literally been on my to-do list for almost a decade now....

[Peds]

dont have either.

one should if you buy a house or have children.

good book to start: living trusts for everyone by sharp.

[Shant]

I have a will that will create a trust upon death. Some of the beneficiaries are pretty self-destructive on the money front. I piggybacked off another family member, her cost was $5k flat fee.

How much did it cost to do whatever you have?
