do you think paying a lawyer 18,000 for probate on a house is to much money?

hell yes, the damn leach
naw, he’s got a family to feed.
ABSOLUTELY!!!! YES!!!!
Assuming it is an uncontested will that is outrageous!
No way to tell without knowing all of the details of the estate. The attorney isn’t probating just the house, but the entire estate. $18k could be high, low, or just about right.
Yes, but at least 7 states have laws that establish a maximum amount a probate lawyer can charge, based upon the value of the assets. For example, if the estate is valued at $300,000, and the max rate is 6 percent, then you could pay a flat fee of $18,000.
I recently saw a million-dollar estate (uncontested will, with a $500,000 home, stocks, investment real estate, vehicles, multiple heirs, missing heirs, joint tenant properties, insurance, pension, etc) probated for around $5,000 in legal fees.
