Common Questions
How much do you charge?
The cost and fees associated with probate or trust administration vary depending on the complexity and length of the case. But we offer affordable flat-rate fees for uncontested probate and competitive hourly rates for probate and trust administration.
How long does this process take?
Every case is different, but we are usually able to help clients settle their estate in less than a year — in some cases as little as 6-9 months. Our goal is to work efficiently and help you settle both quickly and fairly. While other attorneys might allow your case to drag out as they continue to charge you, we want to help you and your family close this chapter as soon as possible.
Must I pay my loved one’s debts and expenses if I am appointed as the PR?
No, you are not personally liable for the debts and expenses of the estate. The decedent’s assets will be used to pay valid debts and expenses, but not all claims are valid. We determine which debts and expenses must be paid and when to pay them.
Am I the one that has to tell family members what they do or don’t get?
If you prefer, we can handle all uncomfortable communications with family members or involved parties during the trust or estate administration, informing or explaining what they will or will not receive from the estate.
Hiring the right legal team can be the difference between quickly and painlessly settling the estate or spending years battling with creditors and family members. Sorrell Law Firm will guide you step-by-step through this daunting process so you and your family can move forward with dignity and confidence.
