What’s included. Fees shown cover legal services only. Government costs (recording fees, court filing fees, publication, certified copies, and documentary stamps) are additional and passed through at cost.
“Starting at” and “quoted at consult.” Some matters (larger probate estates, crisis and married-couple Medicaid, and litigation) vary with the facts. We confirm your quote at the free consult before any work begins.
Probate. Florida sets a statutory schedule for attorney’s fees in formal administration (Fla. Stat. §733.6171). That schedule is not mandatory. We offer flat fees for routine estates and estimate larger estates at the consult.
