Cope & Peterson Ltd.

Worked with Alicia Cope on my Estate Plan in Spring of 2023. Had never hired a lawyer before this and was a good experience. Nice offices. Cost was $950 for Will, Health Care Directive and Power of Attorney. Any work outside of this package cost $275/hour(meetings , emails , phone calls). Any Deeds cost $350 per Deed....I had a Transfer on Death Deed done on my house. Alicia walked me through the process step by step but you should do some thinking and research ahead of time on how Wills are done so you are more focused and not overwhelmed by it all. So now most of my estate(bank accounts, IRA, pensions, house, etc.) is set up to avoid probate, by assigning beneficiaries, but you still need a Will as a backstop for the unexpected. We also looked into doing an LLC for a jointly owned cabin along with other asset protection options. I had a hard time understanding a lot of this but Alicia patiently explained it all, over a period of 2-3 months, so that I could explain it all to my siblings. This all cost $800. Actually doing the LLC would cost $1500 to $2000. Makes my retirement more enjoyable having all of this behind me!

I'd give zero stars if I could. Don't use them for any property agreements. They don't know the county property rules, and I had to do all the ground work. I paid them $$ for all the ground work which I provided just for review. You pay them when you contact them so you figure if you send an email or and phone call asking for a status they would return the call, but no response after repeated emails and calls. The only solution was to fire them. Time to move on to someone that knows what they are doing. I wish boundary water law was still in business.

Timely, Thank you!

Worst experience I've had. Extremely rude and snarky female attorney. Unprofessional and unhelpful.

Prompt honest help

Great service!
