FAQs about Houston, TX Lawyers

What do lawyers charge for a will in Houston?

Most Houston lawyers charge from $250 to over $2,000 to write a will. The amount you’re charged will largely depend on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the job. Experienced lawyers in Houston typically charge $500 or more. If you need help with estate planning, use UpCounsel and choose from our list of Houston attorneys who are qualified and ready to assist you.

What are the different powers of attorney in Texas?

A power of attorney is legal documentation that gives someone else the legal right to make decisions on your behalf about your finances or medical care. While the person does not have to be a legal professional, they should be someone you trust. In Texas, there are five different types of powers of attorney, including general, limited, durable, springing, and medical. A general power of attorney is the most popular, as this authorizes an agent to handle a wide range of decisions for you. Note that this ends if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. Other powers of attorney—durable, springing, and medical—give the agent authority to act in that case. To find a lawyer in Houston, TX who can help you with estate planning, use UpCounsel.

What is a retainer fee for a lawyer?

A retainer fee is an upfront fee that many Houston attorneys and lawyers charge so their clients can secure services with them. These fees help lawyers get paid even if their client changes their mind and the lawyer has to drop the case mid-way through. Retainer fees are typically non-refundable, but check with your local Houston, TX law firm before making any payments to avoid future misunderstandings.
