Your estate plan, at one flat fee.
Most people put off their will because a lawyer means an open meter and a bill they cannot predict. Ashford quotes one flat fee for the whole plan, agreed in writing before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay. It covers the will, the trust, and the powers of attorney.
One fee. Every document named. Agreed before the work begins.
The whole firm is built on one promise made literal: an engagement letter you can read top to bottom, every document in the plan named, a fee that is set the moment you sign, and a line that says the number does not grow as the work goes on.
The figures are an illustrative scenario, labeled as such. This is an industry prototype, so the firm, the fee, and the phone number are not a real engagement.
Four steps, and the fee never moves between them.
We meet, at no charge
A first consultation, in the office or by video, where we learn your family and your wishes. You leave knowing exactly what your plan needs, before a fee is ever discussed.
You get one flat fee
One engagement letter, every document in the plan named, the fee set in writing. You sign it before we open a file, so the cost is fixed before the work starts.
We draft your plan
Your will, trust, and powers of attorney drafted by an attorney, not a fill-in form. You review each one in plain language, and we revise until it reads the way you mean it.
You sign, and it is secured
We execute the plan with you, witnessed and notarized, and you leave with signed originals and digital copies. The fee is the one you agreed to, with nothing added at the end.
Built so the cost is fixed before the work begins.
A flat fee is only as good as the rules behind it. This is the model the prototype demonstrates: every part designed so the number you approve is the number on the final bill.
The fee is set at signing
The engagement letter fixes the fee before a file is opened. There is no hourly meter running in the background, and no place for a surprise charge to appear at the end.
Every document named in writing
The plan lists each document it includes, so you know what you are getting before you agree. Nothing essential is held back to be quoted as an extra later.
Drafted by an attorney
The plan is written and reviewed by a licensed attorney, framed here as the standard the prototype is built to, not a claim about a live firm. A form is not a plan.
Confidential by default
Your family, your assets, and your wishes stay between you and your counsel. Discretion is the baseline the model is built on, not a premium tier sold on top.
This world, pointed at a real firm.
Ashford is the architecture we deploy for an estate or family-law practice: the angle, the brand, the engagement letter, and the page that catches the click. Pointed at a real firm, only the name and the numbers change. Book a call and we will walk you through how it gets made.
