Irving Estate Planning Lawyer
Attorney for Guardianships, Elder Law, and Estate Planning in North Texas
At our firm, we know that estate planning can be a very uncomfortable subject for many people. This is understandable, as the very idea brings to mind the fact that at some point, you will no longer be able to manage your own affairs. However, avoiding or putting off the creation of a comprehensive estate plan can put you and your family in a difficult position if the unexpected happens. On the other hand, being proactive with your estate plan can help you prevent future hardship and uncertainty regarding your health, your assets, and other important matters.
Fortunately, estate planning does not have to be a difficult process, especially when you choose to work with an experienced estate planning attorney. At Andrew Dunlap Attorneys, PLLC, we have more than 40 years of legal experience, and we can help you understand the different elements of an estate plan and determine which of them are most important for you.
In addition to estate planning, our firm also provides guidance with guardianship matters for both minor children and disabled adults. We handle a full range of elder law concerns as well, ensuring that the most vulnerable members of our society are properly protected.

Estate Planning Packages
Creating a solid estate plan does not need to be complicated or difficult. At Andrew Dunlap Attorneys, PLLC, we offer three flat-fee estate planning packages to meet the needs of most North Texas clients. Fully customized packages are available as well.
1. Basic
The Dunlap Firm prepares “Simple Wills” for a $800 fee. The Dunlap Firm cannot confirm this or quote you a price until the facts and circumstances of your family situation and your estate are determined. This is a testamentary trust which goes into effect upon death.
2. Preferred
The Dunlap Firm prepares estate planning packages that contain Simple Wills and ancillary estate planning documents such as powers of attorney and living wills. The Firm charges $1250 for a single person and $2500 for a married couple. This is a Family Trust which places some assets into the trust during your lifetime.
3. Premium
If a more sophisticated estate plan is required to address your estate, The Firm will require a retainer of $2500. Services will be billed at the hourly rate of $375 for our lawyers and $125 for our paralegals. We can also provide consultations from our Tax Attorney and referrals to financial advisors.
