FREE CONSULTATIONS FOR WILLS, PROBATE OF A WILL, AND ESTATE PLANNING. $100.00 DISCOUNT IF HIRED FOR THOSE MATTERS FOR MILITARY, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND THEIR FAMILIES, ACTIVE OR VETERAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Most of my cases are done for a "flat fee" which means you know the cost upfront. Since there are various types of "probate" and I travel to various counties, the fee will be set after we discuss what is to be done and what county the case is in. Probate with a Will : I offer discounts where there is a Will you are probating. The cost is usually much less than probate without a Will. The final fee depends on what type of probate, what issues might be involved, and what county because of travel time. If you are probating a Will, the consultation is free and we can discuss the fee after I gather some facts. Probate without a Will: These cases are often much more time consuming and may become complicated. Consultation is $100 and retainer is $5000.00.
