For estate planning, I usually quote a flat fee after the initial consultation. Estate planning fees typically range from $1,000 – $5,000 depending on the type of planning (e.g. wills vs. living trusts with numerous assets and sub-trusts).
For trust and estate administrations, I typically charge my hourly rate of $300/hour after the initial consultation. Trust and estate administrations typically range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on a variety of factors. Some of these factors include the number of beneficiaries, the nature and number of assets, whether a will or trust is involved, whether probate court is involved, the number of creditors involved, and whether everyone is in agreement.
For trust and estate litigation, I typically charge my hourly rate of $300/hour after the initial consultation. I will often take a retainer for litigation cases. Depending on the situation, I am often able to offer contingency fee arrangements. It is hard to give a ballpark for litigation cases. The variables that drive fees are too many to list. It is best for us to discuss the case at the initial consultation and then we can get a better idea of the fee situation.
