Last Will and Testament—Review and Redline
A review and redline of a counterparty's Last Will and Testament, the agreement that directs who receives what, names a personal representative, and appoints guardians for minor children.
The issues memo is written so a business owner can decide, not just a lawyer. You receive a marked-up document plus a ranked issues memo that separates what must change from what is merely preference.

Frequently asked questions
The fee covers a full read of your existing document against what your business does and current law, a tracked-changes redline you can adopt as is, and a ranked issues memo separating what must change from what is preference. It is fixed at this scope: one testator. 1 round of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference—we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
3 to 5 business days from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 1 round of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$1,050 is $325/hour × 3.25 hours—the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary estate planning matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $1,050 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
1 round of revisions is included. You can add more when you order, or later, at $325 per additional round. A round is one consolidated set of your comments and our revised draft back to you.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
What your business does, and who its users or customers are, the systems, vendors, and data flows the document has to describe accurately, any existing version, and what prompted this one, and any regulator, platform, or contract requirement you are working to. Send what you have—if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
