Fees are obviously of major concern to clients. At Mata & Hill PLC, we use different fee models depending on the matter type. For most estate planning matters, a flat fee will generally be quoted for the particular suite of documents being prepared for a client. This allows for easy budgeting and no surprises.
Generally, half of the flat fee will be required in advance with the balance due at time of final signing. Litigation and other more open-ended matters will usually be billed at an hourly rate in tenth of an hour increments, with an advance deposit (retainer) established at the outset of representation based on the anticipated volume of work.

Elder Law comprises a variety of legal services, including Long-term Care Planning and Asset Protection, Medicaid Eligibility, Incapacity Planning, and Guardianships and Conservatorships. Long-term care is an increasingly important part of one's planning. The costs of long-term care can easily exhaust retirement savings and other assets without careful planning and an asset protection plan in place.

Trusts are often used as private alternatives to the probate process, but trustees and beneficiaries still require legal counsel to ensure their own protection from liability and to enforce their rights under the Trust Agreement.
