Have been through this twice. Once when we lived in Delaware, but there are significant differences between states with regard to probate, passing ownership of firearms...to name a random few.
We paid $800 for the revised will when we moved to Pennsylvania. I think we were overcharged by $200-$300. When we chose to do a minor revision, the attorney attempted to charge an additional $700.
I called her on it and asked her to explain in detail every line item on her invoice and billable hours. She said pay whatever I thought was fair. Paid her $450 and asked for the originals and copies of all documents they prepared for us.
It's not like doing your taxes with TurboTax. There's a bit more at stake.
