A simple Florida will from an attorney typically runs a few hundred dollars (often about $300–$800); complex wills or full packages cost more. Guided software produces a Florida-compliant will for a flat fee usually well below that, with an optional attorney review if you want one. What actually determines whether a will worksisn’t the price — it’s correct execution under §732.502. This is general information, not legal advice, and prices vary.
What drives the price
Simple vs. complex
Leaving everything to a spouse or splitting it equally among children is simple. Blended families, trusts for minors, business interests, or disinheriting an heir add complexity — and cost.
Standalone vs. package
A will is often sold within a plan (will + power of attorney + healthcare directives, sometimes a trust). Comparing a standalone will price to a full-plan price is apples to oranges.
Attorney vs. software
A custom attorney-drafted will sits at the top of the range; guided software sits far below, assembling the document from Florida law — with an optional licensed-attorney review as an add-on.
Price doesn’t equal validity
A Florida will is valid only if it meets the execution requirements of §732.502 — signed at the end, two witnesses present together. Spend nothing and sign correctly and it is valid; spend a fortune and sign wrong and it is not.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a will cost in Florida?
- A simple Florida will from an attorney typically runs a few hundred dollars (often around $300–$800); a more complex will, or a will as part of a full estate-planning package, costs more. Guided online software produces a Florida-compliant will for a flat fee that is usually well below attorney pricing, with an optional attorney review available.
- Why is an online will cheaper than an attorney will?
- An attorney prices their time and judgment; software assembles a Florida-compliant document from the statutes and scales the cost across many users. For straightforward situations the document can be substantively similar — the difference is the personalized legal advice, which you can add back as an optional review.
- Is a cheap will still valid in Florida?
- Yes, if it is executed correctly. Price has nothing to do with validity — what matters is meeting §732.502 (in writing, signed at the end, two witnesses present together). A $0 will signed properly is valid; an expensive will signed wrong is not.
- Do I need more than a will?
- Often, yes. A complete Florida plan usually pairs a will with a durable power of attorney and healthcare directives, and many people add a revocable living trust to avoid probate. A will alone still goes through Florida probate.
