How much money can I save doing my own estate planning?

DIY estate planning can save thousands compared to hiring an attorney. Basic wills through online platforms typically cost under $200, while attorney-drafted wills often range from $1,500-$3,000. For trusts, DIY options may cost $300-$500 versus $3,000-$5,000 with an attorney. However, savings depend on your situation's complexity - simple estates with straightforward asset distribution work well for DIY approaches, while complex business ownership or blended families may benefit from professional guidance.
