Initial
Conference
The initial conference for
opening an estate is free. At that time, you will
learn your rights and obligations, how long it will
take, and how much it will cost. Mark charges an
hourly rate for his probate fees. (Other
attorneys may charge a percentage of the total
estate, look out for this!)
Each month, you will be sent a
bill showing the date, service performed, person
performing the service, how long it took, and the
charges for the service. You will be kept informed
each month and have the ability to review the
monthly statement for services and costs with the
staff.
What to
Expect
You can expect a professional and
courteous attitude with Mark and his staff. They
will return telephone calls on a timely basis. You
will be kept informed at all stages of the
proceedings of what to expect and how long it will
take. You will receive an accurate prediction of
all costs.
When to Open
an Estate
Any interested person (an heir, a
creditor, a beneficiary) may open an estate. You do
not have to have the original will to open the
estate. The attorney or other person having
possession of the will does not have to open the
estate. The heirs may choose any attorney they
wish to represent them to open the estate of the
deceased. |
