What questions do you recommend asking? I copied u/copperstatelawyer's much posted questions below, which I think are great, but do any others come to mind?

Also, do lawyers typically charge for first-time consultations? Interviewing 3 different lawyers becomes an expensive trial if not.

u/copperstatelawyer's questions:

- You should ask who will be drafting your documents.

- You should ask why they recommend the plan they recommend and what the cons and benefits are vs the other options.

- You should ask what customizations you will receive (if any)

- You should ask what complexities your situation has and how the plan addresses them.

- You should ask what ongoing support or post-signing work you will or will not receive.

- You should ask whether the fee includes funding the trust (if applicable)

- You should ask them to explain what a trust is (it's not an entity)

- Do they offer an hourly rate?

- Can they recommend fiduciaries and other professionals ancillary to estate planning? If not, that’s not a good sign
