Up until recently we displayed a list of our sample fee structure for common probate scenarios. For a host of reasons, we will no longer display those fees.
Florida Statutes provide for a sliding scale fee structure that many times can result in too low or too high a fee depending on the required work.
BUT WAIT, we rarely use these guidelines to determine our fees.
The typical structure is: {attorneys fees} + {costs}
Attorneys fees = actual attorney tasks and preparation of your probate file
Costs = court clerk filing fees, publishing notices, recording, Fedex and postage costs
We have developed our own fee structure that includes (and heavily favors) FLAT fees. Why?
Because our clients prefer flat fees and so do we!
If you think about it, flat fees give are more of an incentive to work efficiently and close probate cases as soon as possible.
Hourly rates don’t have that same effect!
Flat fees for probate matters are often sufficient provided the case is uncontested and there is a manageable number of estate creditors to address.
While we aren’t publishing our “Florida Probate Attorneys Fees” schedule anymore, in many cases, we will provide you with an instant quote after a brief consultation.
We still believe our fees our seriously competitive but what’s most important is service!
Actual rates may vary, client service is unwavering.
So what are you waiting for? Our standard phone consultations are still free for the first 30 minutes (typically more than enough time to discuss your options) – Click here to schedule your probate consultation!
