The True Cost of Probate

The cost, like time, is variable based on many factors including size, complexity, and the planning for probate that went into the estate planning. Costs include professional fees (legal and accounting), court costs, other administrative costs and fees, and the cost of the executor.

The cost of setting up an estate to avoid probate may be greater than the cost of doing a simple Will, but the cost of probate is far greater than the cost of estate planning to avoid probate. The cost of not doing any planning, or planning poorly, is greater still. For these reasons, you should do the planning with a reputable estate planning attorney necessary to avoid probate.
