Flat-Fee Estate Planning.
Know the cost before you begin.
No hourly surprises. Published flat fees for Florida wills, trusts, and probate, with every plan drafted by a litigator who has seen, in court, exactly how plans fail.
Most firms make you schedule a call just to find out what an estate plan costs. Here's ours, in writing. Every plan is a flat fee, quoted in full before any work begins.

Probate
Probate administration
When a loved one passes, I guide the personal representative through every step. Probate costs vary with the estate, so these are starting points, confirmed in your consultation. You can estimate the likely range here.
Summary administration
For estates of $150,000 or less (excluding the homestead), or where the decedent passed more than two years ago. Deaths before July 1, 2026 keep the prior $75,000 limit.
$3,000
Formal administration
The standard court-supervised process for most Florida estates.
from $4,500
Ancillary administration
For an out-of-state decedent who owned property in Florida.
Quoted per matter
For comparison
What Florida law would presume instead
For formal administration, Florida law sets an attorney fee schedule that courts presume reasonable: $3,000 plus 3 percent of the estate value between $100,000 and $1 million (Fla. Stat. 733.6171). The schedule is a presumption, not a requirement, and the statute itself makes the fee negotiable. We quote formal administration from $4,500 instead.

| $500,000 | $15,000 | from $4,500, quoted |
| $1,000,000 | $30,000 | from $4,500, quoted |

What the flat fee covers
Flat fees cover standard estates.
The prices above assume a straightforward situation. If your matter is more complex, I'll tell you in the consultation and quote it before any work begins, no surprises either way.
Covered by the flat fee
- Outright distributions or simple trusts for minor children
- Guardian nominations for minor children
- Ordinary assets: a home, bank and brokerage accounts, retirement accounts
- Estates below the federal estate-tax exemption
Quoted individually
- Taxable estates and tax-reduction planning
- Special-needs trusts
- Asset-protection and irrevocable trusts
- Business succession and entity planning
- Blended-family or complex contingency structures

Costs are separate. All prices are attorney's fees. Third-party costs (court filing fees, recording fees, certified copies, creditor-notice publication) are billed at cost. Document packages carry little to no hard cost; probate typically adds about $400–$600 in court costs.
Fees are current as of June 2026 and subject to change. Flat fees apply to standard matters; complex or contested matters are quoted individually after your free consultation. This page is general information, not legal advice.
