Living wills are almost a must. They cut the attorneys out of sharing the estate almost totally.

Living wills have nothing to do with it. They deal with medical decision-making.

You're thinking of living trusts, and they are NOT what they're cracked up to be. And they're often just as lucrative for attorneys, if not more so, than a traditional estate plan.

That hasn’t been my experience, if the trust is set up properly. An aunt died and the total attorney fee was about $250.00. Which was thousands of dollars less then it would have been in probate.
