Wills / Probate: Can I pay fees out of my estate?
by admin ~ June 19th, 2010 . Filed under: Law & Ethics .
research asked:
If I have a lawyer or company do some work to help me draft my will, can they contract to take their fees out of my estate after I die?
I am seeking a legal perspective here…can these fees be paid out of my estate, legally?

No, they like to be paid when services are rendered. LOL

No. They will charge you a fee for preparing your Will after you have signed it, not after you die.

They can; but they won’t
