Although she is only licensed to practice here in WA, it might be worth giving her a call. She may be able to provide general guidance on options and typical range of costs.

She took care of my step-fathers new will, powers of attorney, and other financial planning after my mother died. He found her to be extremely knowledgeable and caring and was very happy to work with her.

From her website:

Stephanie is an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Washington. She graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 2001, and was honored twice with the law school’s Trustees’ Scholarship.

Prior to law school, Stephanie earned a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy from the University of Puget Sound. For more than a decade as an occupational therapist, Stephanie worked with adults with physical and mental disabilities, both in long term care and home health settings. While fighting for her patients’ healthcare benefits, she discovered how the power and right use of law can protect the most vulnerable individuals. It was this revelation that inspired her to embark upon her legal career.
