Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a trust or just a will in Lyons?

Many Colorado families do well with a simple will paired with a beneficiary deed for the home and updated retirement account beneficiaries. A revocable living trust often makes sense when there is real estate in multiple states, special needs planning, or a blended family.

How much does an estate plan cost in Boulder County?

Colorado estate planning attorneys often quote simple will packages as flat fees between $500 and $1,500, while basic revocable trust packages typically run $2,000 to $4,500. Always confirm fees and scope in a written engagement letter before drafting begins.

Where is probate handled for Lyons residents?

Probate cases for Lyons residents are filed at the Boulder County District Court at 1777 Sixth Street in Boulder. Colorado also offers a small estate affidavit process for estates under $80,000 in personal property.
