Does Relevant Law serve clients outside Seattle, WA?

Yes. The Seattle office serves clients throughout Seattle, Ballard, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, West Seattle, and Shoreline and surrounding Washington communities. Consultations are available in-person, by phone, or by video.

Do I need a will or a trust in Seattle, WA?

It depends on your assets and family. A revocable living trust avoids Washington probate, provides for incapacity, and offers privacy and distribution control that a will alone cannot. Your Seattle estate planning lawyer evaluates your situation and recommends the right approach.

How much does an estate planning lawyer cost in Seattle?

Relevant Law offers flat-fee estate planning so you know the total cost before beginning. Pricing depends on plan complexity. Contact the Seattle office at (425) 655-7875 for current rates on will packages, trust-based plans, and document bundles.

What happens without an estate plan in Washington?

Without a will or trust, Washington's intestacy laws determine who inherits your assets — which may not reflect your wishes. Your estate goes through probate, a court-supervised process that is public, time-consuming, and expensive. Powers of Attorney and healthcare directives become critical during incapacity.

How often should I update my estate plan?

Review your plan every 3-5 years or after significant life events — marriage, divorce, birth of children or grandchildren, major asset changes, or relocating to a new state. Washington law changes and federal tax law updates may also require plan revisions. Your Seattle lawyer provides ongoing plan reviews.
