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 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.

For estates under $75,000 (excluding the homestead), or where the decedent passed more than two years ago.
$3,000
Formal administration
The standard court-supervised process for most Florida estates.

For an out-of-state decedent who owned property in Florida.

What the flat fee covers

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.

- Guardian nominations for minor children
- Ordinary assets — a home, bank and brokerage accounts, retirement accounts

Quoted individually

Costs are separate. All prices are attorney's fees. Third-party costs, court filing fees, recording fees, certified copies, and 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.
