The cost of an estate administration will vary depending on the size and complexity of the estate. Our firm charges flat fees between $1500 and $6000 for probate administration in Florida. We charge flat fees so that clients know exactly what the total cost of the case will be up front. Summary administration is less costly than formal administration, representing the lower end of the cost spectrum. Formal administration is a more involved process, and represents the higher end of the price range.
For any legal service, it is ideal to hire an attorney on a flat-fee basis. While hourly billing may be appropriate for some contested litigation matters, uncontested estate administration is well suited to flat fees.
In addition to attorney’s fees, there are court costs involved in estate administration. Filing fees between $345.00 and $405.00 must be paid for each case, unless waived for indigency. There is also a cost of the publication of a notice to creditors in a newspaper, which is generally around $250.00.
Attorney’s fees and other estate expenses including funeral bills can be repaid to the person who paid them using estate assets.
