Our Fees

What you need to know:

Free 1-hour, no obligation consultation with a lawyer
Legal fees are based on the value of the estate but we also consider factors that make an estate more or less complex to administer.
Legal fees are paid by the estate, and no accounts are due until there is money in the estate to pay them. Executors do not pay out of pocket for our fees.
