For married couples,  I would prioritize estate planning as follows: 

• If I could only have one (1) document, I would get a Transfer on Death Deed (TODD) for $300 (most valuable by far); 
• (Plus $300 for recording which can be charged at this LawPay Credit Card Payment Link for a total of $600 for a recorded TODD);
• (Quitclaim Deeds are $350 to prepare and $350 to record for a total cost of $700 each);
• (The second most valuable estate planning tools are beneficiary designations, which are free). 
• If I could have two (2) documents prepared, I would add Powers of Attorney for Finances & Health for $100 each ($200 total); 
• If I could have three (3) documents, I would add a Living Will and Mental Health Advance Directive for $100 each ($200 total); 
• If I could have four (4), I would add a Revocable Living Trust for $600;
• The Last Will & Testament is free because it will not be witnessed.  Probate does not require a Will.  It is my opinion that Probate should be avoided, but if it cannot be avoided then the Beneficiaries should communicate, agree, and sign affidavits before opening a Probate rather than having the Executor submit a witnessed will without agreement which can lead to disputes.  Doing so doesn’t cost anything.  (You can execute a Will electronically, you just have to find two witnesses who are not related to you, or mentioned in your estate planning documents.  They need to email me their driver’s licenses, and then all four of us have to arrange a time to sign on video. Plus you need to pay an additional $175.)

• The total cost adds up to $1,600 including electronic recording of a Transfer on Death Deed by email in two (2) days.

For single people, I would prioritize estate planning as follows: 

• The Transfer on Death Deed price is $300 (most valuable by far);    
• (Plus $300 for recording which can be charged at this LawPay Credit Card Payment Link for a total of $600 for a recorded TODD);
• (Quitclaim Deeds are $350 to prepare and $350 to record for a total cost of $700 each);
• (The second most valuable estate planning tools are beneficiary designations, which are free);
• The Powers of Attorney for Finances & Health, Living Will and Advance Directive are $75 each ($300 total);
• The Revocable Living Trust is $350;
• The Last Will & Testament is free because it will not be witnessed.  Probate does not require a Will.  It is my opinion that Probate should be avoided, but if it cannot be then the Beneficiaries should communicate, agree, and sign affidavits before opening a Probate rather than having the Executor submit a witnessed will without agreement which can lead to disputes. Doing so doesn’t cost anything. (You can execute a Will electronically, you just have to find two witnesses who are not related to you, or mentioned in your estate planning documents.  They need to email me their driver’s licenses, and then all four of us have to arrange a time to sign on video. Plus you need to pay an additional $150.)

The $350 cost of recording a Quitclaim Deed is reimbursement of what it costs me to record (including the King County Recorder, Simplifile Annual Fee, Simplifile per document fee, the transaction costs for making the payments and the Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit (REETA) and some of the time using the software).  Recording costs are fixed and irrelevant to legal insurance.  The Recorder  raised their fees by $100 on July 26th, 2021.    $300 is the cost to record a Transfer on Death Deed because there is no REETA.    I am not making money from cost reimbursement; I just do electronic recording as a convenience to clients so they don’t have to wait four (4) months and pay postage both ways to record by mail.
