[quote=ACDC771]NOTE: I have real property in DC, so I assume I would need to get a DC attorney.....but if not, I am open to whatever lawyer is best/cheapest in DMV area

I know others have asked this question before on this board, but it seems like the lawyers/firms and prices quoted are older and might not be accurate any longer (i.e., a lot of these firms offered heavily discounted services about 1-3 years ago, given COVID + heavy number of retirements).

After some research online, I think I would need the following: 1) Living Trust (main estate document); 2) Pour over will ("pours over" into living trust....sort of like a catch all for anything not captured in living trust if any accidents made); 3) Advance directive/medical directive (if I get injured). The problem is that I have no way of getting a sense of a "Fair" price for these types of services - some firms have quoted me at around $7k for those three documents, others way lower, and some firms with ads online seem to be able to do this for about $1k total.

There does not seem to be a good way to gauge quality and prices for these types of legal services, so reaching out to everyone here to see if they have any recommendations and/or what they paid so I get a sense of what is "fair" price for this.  [/quote]
