This form is for probate cases after someone has passed away. Probate is the legal process of proving a will (if one exists), handling debts, and distributing property. If you are seeking to create your own estate planning documents—such as a will, medical power of attorney, or financial power of attorney—please use our Simple Will Package form which is also available on our website.

Fee Disclosure & Required Acknowledgment

Probate Intake Form – Please Read Before Proceeding

Our firm provides strategic representation in probate and estate matters that require careful legal and factual analysis. We maintain a low-volume caseload so that each client receives personalized attention and dedicated support throughout what is often a highly sensitive and detail-intensive process.

Fee Structure

Our retainers for probate matters start at $5,000.

Attorney rate: $350/hour
Paralegal rate: $150/hour

We bill hourly against the retainer. Any unused balance is refunded at the conclusion of the case. If the account is depleted during representation, we will notify you and request replenishment to continue work.

Consultation Policy

If your case is selected for further review, we offer a one-hour paid consultation for $350, due at the time of scheduling.

Our Approach

We utilize advanced legal technology and collaborate with a trusted network of employees, contractors, and experts. This allows us to provide high-level legal strategy and hands-on representation throughout the probate process—especially in contested or asset-heavy estates.

We view the attorney-client relationship as a serious investment in one another, and we take that investment seriously from the very beginning.

Acknowledgement

I acknowledge and agree to the above fee structure and privacy policy.
