Our Flat Fees vs. Traditional Firms

Most firms don’t list prices.

They charge retainers + hourly rates that leave you guessing.

Probate often ends up costing $15,000–$20,000 or more.

We believe that’s broken. So we built a better way:

  • Clear pricing you can see now
  • Real numbers, not vague ranges
  • Discounts for families ready to act

Your price is locked in only once you pay your $1,000 Enrollment Fee.

We limit the number of cases we take each month, and pricing is subject to change based on demand.

Our Process: Simple, Step-by-Step

Step 1: The $500 Starter Call

Everyone begins here. This is a 1-on-1 meeting with an attorney to:

  • Review the estate and assets
  • Confirm heirs and legal next steps
  • Answer all your questions
  • Identify any problems early (so nothing delays you later)

After the call, you’ll receive:

  • Your ready-to-file Petition for Probate
  • All required supporting documents, customized to your case
  • A detailed instruction packet to help you file on your own

👉 If you want to handle probate yourself, you’ll have everything you need to get started.

👉 If you want us to handle everything, your $500 is applied toward the full flat-fee.

Step 2: Your Flat-Fee Quote

If you decide to hire us, we’ll give you a flat-fee quote based on the estate’s complexity.

Here’s what it typically looks like:

Standard Estate – $5,500
Includes:

  • One home
  • Bank and retirement accounts
  • Life insurance policies
  • A will (or no will)
  • No family disputes

Add-ons (if applicable):

  • Additional property (rental, vacation): + $1,000 each
  • Business ownership (LLC or corporation): + $7,000 each
    (Includes legal transfer, ownership updates, and asset cleanup)

Examples:

  • Standard estate + 2 rental properties = $7,500
  • Standard estate + 1 business = $12,500

You’ll get your official quote after the Starter Call.

Step 3: Choose How to Move Forward

Once you’ve received your quote, you’ll choose between two payment options:

Option 1: Pay Upfront (Best Value)

  • Pay the flat fee (minus your $500 Starter Call) right after your call
  • Lock in our lowest pricing
  • Get started right away — no estate delays

Why this option?

  • Saves you 50% compared to hourly firms or estate-paid cases
  • Avoids the inflated legal fees that courts often deduct from estates
  • No waiting on court approval to pay us

Example:
Flat fee: $7,500 → Starter Call: $500 → Balance due: $7,000

Option 2: Estate-Paid (Pay Later from the Estate)

  • After your Starter Call, pay a $1,000 Enrollment Fee
  • We begin handling everything immediately — no delays
  • The full flat fee is doubled and paid from the estate once you’re officially appointed

What the $1,000 Enrollment Fee Covers:

  • Officially opens your case with our firm
  • Covers early court filings, certified copies, and public notices
  • Locks in your pricing and your spot on our monthly case list
  • Allows us to begin preparing everything for court appointment

Why this option?

  • You want legal help now but can’t pay the full amount up front
  • You’d rather the estate pay for the legal work later

Example:
Flat fee: $7,500 → Doubled: $15,000 → Paid from the estate after appointment

✅ What You Get With Full-Service Probate

Once you hire us, we handle everything:

  • Prepare and file all court documents
  • Notify heirs and creditors
  • Guide you through debts, distributions, and asset transfers
  • Handle property, business interests, and financial accounts
  • Keep your case moving — no missed deadlines, no confusion

We handle the legal process. You stay out of court.
