There is no set fee for wills in Illinois. If you ask ten different estate planning attorneys, you likely will get ten different quotes and a wide range of prices. Some attorneys charge a flat fee for a will, but others may charge an hourly rate. Prices also can depend on the complexity of your will, the going rate in your city, and an attorney’s experience level.
If you hire an attorney to draft a will, you will pay at least a few hundred dollars. Many attorneys also offer estate plans that include a will, a trust, and other documents. These plans can cost a few thousand dollars, but they can save you money in the long run.
