What factors influence attorney fees for estate planning?

Attorney fees for estate planning typically vary based on your estate's complexity, geographic location, the attorney's experience level, and their fee structure (hourly vs. flat rate). Simple wills generally cost less than comprehensive trust packages, while complex estates with business interests or tax planning needs require more time and expertise, resulting in higher fees.
