Summary Administration
So long as all beneficiaries are in agreement and there are no creditor issues, we can help move things along. Administration involving a primary residence increases the price of service. If problems arise with creditors or beneficiaries, or additional transactions are required, the price may increase.
In addition, there are costs for court filing fees, publication of legal notices, etc.
Formal Administration
If there are $100,000 or less in assets, the price for probate administration starts at a custom rate with additional fees for complicating factors involving property, creditors, financial institutions, or beneficiaries. For estates valued at more than $100,000, the base fee depends on the size of the estate.
