The cost of creating a will varies widely depending on the method chosen. Options include writing your own will for free, using online estate planning tools that cost between $10 and $250, and hiring an attorney which typically costs between $300 and $1,000 or more for more complex estate planning needs. The best price depends on factors like estate size, complexity, and legal assurance desired. Hiring an estate planning lawyer ensures your will is legally sound but is more expensive, while DIY or online methods are cheaper but riskier legally.
