How Much Does Probate Cost?

We are frequently asked how much does probate cost.  It depends on the agreement between you and the attorney.  Fiduciary Fees are a probate cost set by law, Revised Code Section 2113.35:   4% of the first $100,000 of probate assets; 3% of the next $300,000; and 2% of the assets above $400,000.  So the Attorney may receive the statutory fee, or he may choose hourly billing, depending upon the case.  In Guardianships, the fees are generally less than in an estate administration.  If you want to avoid probate, please contact us for a free consultation.
