What is your fee structure for handling probate cases, and are there any additional costs I should be aware of?
Can you provide an overview of how you typically handle probate cases?
How involved will I need to be in the probate process, and how frequently should I expect that we’ll need to communicate?
Does your office handle the filing of the notice to creditors, and what is your process for managing creditor claims against the estate?
Do you handle cases that involve complex tax issues, or do you have local CPA’s or tax advisers you can recommend?
How long do you estimate my probate case will take to resolve, and what factors could potentially delay the probate process?
