A: The cost of creating a power of attorney and living will in Tennessee can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your specific documents, the attorney you choose, and any additional services or consultations required. Legal fees can vary widely, and for personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney directly to discuss your needs and obtain a specific quote for their services.

A: The cost for preparing a power of attorney and a living will in Tennessee can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of your needs, the attorney's experience, and the region in which you reside. Typically, attorneys either charge a flat fee for these documents or bill by the hour.

Flat fees can range considerably, from a couple hundred dollars to over a thousand, depending on the firm and the specificity of your requests. Hourly rates can also vary, but it's not uncommon for attorneys to charge between $150 to $500 per hour or more.

It's important to discuss fees upfront and get a clear estimate of the total cost before proceeding. Additionally, some attorneys might offer package deals for multiple estate planning documents, which could provide cost savings. For the most accurate pricing, I'd recommend reaching out to several local attorneys to inquire about their rates for these services. Always ensure that the attorney you select is familiar with Tennessee's specific laws and regulations related to powers of attorney and living wills.
