At Discount Lawyers, a complete will plus a revocable family trust is a flat $1,399 — one price, one licensed Nevada attorney, with Affirm financing if you’d rather pay monthly.
Skip planning and let your estate go through Nevada probate instead, and it can cost your family far more — typically $4,000–$10,000 in fees and a year or more of waiting.
If you’ve called an estate planning office and hung up without a straight answer about price, you’re not imagining things. A lot of firms won’t quote you until you’re sitting across from them. We’ll tell you right now — including the parts most people don’t think to ask about.
What’s included in the $1,399?
That flat fee covers the attorney’s work to prepare and finalize the two documents most Nevada families need, done right and signed correctly:
- A Last Will & Testament — says who inherits, and names a guardian for your kids. Only a will can do that.
- A revocable living trust — holds your home and accounts so they pass to your family without probate court.
A couple of things sit outside that price, and it’s fair that you know now rather than later: county recording fees if we retitle real property into your trust, and optional add-ons like a standalone special needs trust. When we quote you $1,399, that’s the attorney’s fee for the plan — in writing, before you commit.
Why is it a flat fee instead of hourly?
Because “call for a quote” is how people end up afraid to ask. We keep the price low through efficiency, not by cutting corners — the discount is in the price, never the service. You get a real, licensed attorney at a number you can see before you decide anything. No hourly meter running quietly in the background.
What does it cost if you do nothing?
This is the price nobody quotes you, so we will. Without a trust, your estate goes through Nevada probate, and the attorney’s fee there is set by statute as a percentage of the estate — 4% of the first $100,000, then 3%, then 2%, and so on. In practice that’s roughly $4,000 to $10,000 for a straightforward estate, and the process commonly takes 12 to 18 months. That money and time come straight out of what you meant to leave your family. A one-time $1,399 today is almost always the cheaper path.
Do I really need a trust, or is a will enough?
Honestly, it depends on your life — and we’ll tell you straight at the consult. If you’re young, renting, and single, a simple will may be all you need for now. But once you own a home, a trust usually earns its keep by keeping your family out of probate. Nevada also has no state estate or inheritance tax, so for most people this isn’t about taxes at all — it’s about avoiding court and naming who cares for your kids.
Isn’t an online form cheaper?
You’ll see $200 will-and-trust kits online, and for a very simple situation one can be enough — we’d rather tell you that than sell you something you don’t need. But here’s the part most people miss: an online trust only avoids probate for the assets you actually transfer into it, a step called “funding.” Skip it, and you’ve paid for a trust that does nothing while your estate lands in probate anyway. When we prepare your trust, we make sure it’s funded and signed correctly under Nevada law. That’s the difference between a document that looks right and one that works.
Being straight with you: not everyone needs the full package today. If a simple will covers you for now, we’ll say so — even though it means a smaller invoice. That honesty is the whole point of how we work.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. If $1,399 all at once is tough right now, that’s exactly why we offer Affirm financing — you spread it into monthly payments and still get the real, attorney-drafted plan today. Legal help shouldn’t be a luxury, and timing shouldn’t be the reason your family goes unprotected.
Common questions
How much does a will and trust cost in Las Vegas?
At Discount Lawyers, a will plus a revocable family trust is a flat $1,399, prepared by a licensed Nevada attorney. Affirm financing is available if you’d rather pay monthly. Recording fees for retitling real property into your trust are separate and set by the county.
Is estate planning only for wealthy people?
No. If you own a home, have kids, or simply want your family to skip probate, you have an estate worth protecting. Nevada has no state estate or inheritance tax, so for most families this is about avoiding probate and naming guardians, not taxes.
What does it cost if I don’t make an estate plan?
If your estate goes through Nevada probate, attorney fees are set by statute and typically run $4,000 to $10,000 for a straightforward estate, and the process can take a year or more. A funded living trust avoids that entirely.
