The Jacobson Law Firm was essential in helping me through the probate process after my husband died. Mr Jacobson was able to answer all questions that related to the necessary steps required. He has been sympathetic and patient while guiding me through all the details necessary to complete all these details. I would highly recommend this law firm for wills, trusts, probate and all related issues.

Ten years ago when my charming Japanese mother was merely 75 and enjoying retirement, I would never imagined the family we are today. I doubt now the worthy of saving too much money your lifetime because doing so may be the dragon that eats you. Since, I’ve learned and witnessed and heard of through my associations with caregivers, this is all too common. Be careful what you wish for. I cannot have chosen a better attorney for my guardianship case. I also can’t help but think Ryan Moe worked this case because he was sent out from heaven to me and Mom. He was supposed to and for good reason. The man is made from fine cloth and don’t judge him for his seriousness or his disappearing or his directness - he’s working it all out upstairs, metaphysically speaking - he’s got a natural clear intuit so keep things easy on yourself and answer the questions concisely. Ryan is remarkably intelligent and he imagines strategies and it’s fascinating to watch him dance with the pieces and “the bad guys”. Sorry! Had to. He’s my 2022 Super Hero!!!! Thank you Universe! I am so grateful to him and Elizabeth for taking us in! While I believe justice and fairness are human constructs and we should not hold tight to the ideas of such - Ryan Moe will make you believe they are real if only a little while. And I am moved still by the remarkable beauty of Gods work and the resulting outcome of our guardianship case. It was a win for my funny goofy 85 yo mother. Who loves Bingo. “We get to play again now Mom!” .

When my father passed away and it was clear that there were going to be disputes with my sibling I started contacting lawyers. The first 3 lawyers I contacted all told me to go to the state and file with Adult Protective Services. I didn't feel this was the way to go. I got on the internet and started researching lawyers with Elder law experience and found Mr. Ryan Moe. I contacted his office and went to see him a few days later. I liked him immediately and knew he was very knowledgeable about Elder law. When I had my first consultation with him about my mom's diminished capacity he set up a doctor's appointment so my mother could be checked by a professional. She was indeed found to have diminished capacity that no one else in the family wanted to admit to. I also advised him that my sibling was taking all kinds of money and wanted to see if he could get it stopped. Throughout the whole process I knew Mr. Moe was the best lawyer for the job. He was laid back but aggressive when needed to be. He put me at ease right away and I knew he had my back at all times. I very much respect and would recommend Mr. Moe to anyone having problems with siblings and disputes. He was easy to talk to and listened and offered advice. If the need arises for more legal help I will definitely call Mr. Moe. Very easy to talk to and puts you at ease. He is a compassionate and caring individual.

My experience with Rosa, my divorce attorney, was truly exceptional. Rosa is incredibly wise and knowledgeable about the legal system, which gave me confidence from the very beginning. Additionally, her patience and ability to listen made such an emotional and complicated process much more manageable. Her strategic approach and unwavering commitment to my case proved that anyone who places their trust in her is sure to win their case. Thanks to Rosa, we were finally able to reach a fair and peaceful agreement between my ex-husband and me, something that initially seemed impossible. Her professionalism and dedication made a significant difference in my life.

I was very pleased how professional, efficient and easy Mr. Aldrich explained the probate and estate planning. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the services of a comprehensive Probate/estate attorney. Mr. Aldrich will be able to handle any difficult probate or estate situations..

I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Sylvia Cavasos regarding some serious charges of false claims made against me. From the outset, Sylvia's expertise was evident; she provided me with a thorough, confident consultation, outlining various strategies and options tailored to my specific situation. Sylvia's knowledge of the law was not only comprehensive but also communicated in a manner that was clear and reassuring. Her ability to navigate complex legal landscapes with such professionalism made all the difference during a challenging time. She listened attentively to my concerns, offering insightful advice that was both actionable and reassuring. Her approach to my case was marked by an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine commitment to her clients' well-being. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Sylvia Cavasos to anyone in need of legal counsel.

I was referred to Mr. Aldrich by a family member when I was searching for a probate/estate attorney to discuss estate planning and questions about the process about how and what a Probate attorney does. I was very pleased how professional, efficient and easy Mr. Aldrich explained the probate and estate planning. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the services of a comprehensive Probate/estate attorney. Mr. Aldrich will be able to handle any difficult probate or estate situations.. Special notice of his staff, as well. They are very efficient, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. Everyone in their office is a joy to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Russell Amsberry from the Amsberry Law Firm for my recent divorce proceedings, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and dedication. From the moment I reached out to the firm, I felt like my case was in good hands. Russell Amsberry demonstrated a level of care and empathy that truly set him apart. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences one can face, but Russell guided me through every step of the process with patience and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns and priorities, and he always made sure I was well-informed about my options. One of the things I appreciated most about working with Russell was his ability to set realistic expectations. He didn't sugarcoat the situation or make promises he couldn't keep. Instead, he provided honest and straightforward advice, which allowed me to make informed decisions about my case. Throughout the entire process, Russell Amsberry remained accessible and responsive. He promptly answered my questions and addressed any concerns I had, which helped alleviate much of the stress associated with divorce proceedings. Thanks to Russell's expertise and guidance, I was able to navigate the complexities of the legal system with confidence. I am incredibly grateful for his support during this difficult time, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate divorce attorney.

My mother passed away last year and didn’t have a will unfortunately. My family and I hired Mr. Butterbaugh after he initially explained the process. We knew what to expect and always knew where we were in the process. It took time as expected but we eventually got through the process and we were able to get access to my Mother’s assets. Mr. Butterbaugh made it as smooth as possible and I highly recommend him if you find yourself in a similar situation.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Butterbaugh for more than 20 years on my return to Texas from Hawaii where I was a practicing orthodontist. My goal at the time was to review my overall estate plan when I met with David and I'm so glad I did. I needed trust and will modifications and with the passing of my wife very recently, I'm so glad I did. David's efforts in taking the case through probate were extraordinarily efficient and I'm totally grateful for his professional efforts. He offered his professional services at a very efficient and financially responsible service. Greatly appreciated!

He, of course, provided advice and all of the required legal documents but was very good at providing and explaining the instructions for all of the steps we had to handle going forward (the things that an attorney can't just do for you). I like the flat rate and didn't have to worry about whether an email or phone call question triggered billable time.

What a Probate Lawyer Can Do for You

A probate lawyer assists with the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This often involves guiding executors (if a will exists) or beneficiaries (if no will exists) through the probate process to settle the estate according to the deceased’s wishes or applicable laws. Probate lawyers can help validate the will, distribute assets, resolve disputes among heirs, handle outstanding debts or taxes, and ensure the estate is legally and efficiently administered.

Whether you’re an executor of an estate or an heir facing probate proceedings, a probate lawyer can help you navigate the often-complex legal process to ensure the estate is settled correctly.

When Should I Hire a Probate Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a probate lawyer when you are responsible for managing the estate of a deceased individual, especially in the following situations:

  • The estate has substantial assets: If the estate includes significant assets like real estate, investments, or business interests, legal assistance is often necessary to handle the distribution properly.
  • The will is being contested: If there are disputes among heirs regarding the validity of the will or the division of assets, a probate lawyer can help resolve the conflict.
  • The estate includes complex or unclear provisions: If the will contains complicated instructions or there are no clear beneficiaries, a lawyer can ensure that the estate is administered according to legal requirements.
  • There is no will (intestate estate): When a person dies without a will, the estate is subject to intestacy laws, which determine how assets are distributed. A probate lawyer can help navigate this process.
  • Debt or tax issues exist: If the estate owes significant debts or is subject to estate taxes, a probate lawyer can help ensure debts are paid appropriately and taxes are minimized.
  • Probate disputes: If family members or other parties are disputing the distribution of assets or challenging the executor's actions, legal representation is crucial to defending your rights and ensuring the estate is handled properly.

Hiring a probate lawyer early in the process can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure the estate is settled efficiently.

What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?

A probate lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help manage and settle an estate. Their tasks can include:

  • Validating the will: Filing the will with the probate court and ensuring its legal validity.
  • Guiding executors or administrators: Advising the person responsible for managing the estate on their duties, including inventorying assets, notifying creditors, and paying debts.
  • Filing necessary paperwork: Preparing and submitting the legal documents required to initiate and complete the probate process.
  • Resolving disputes: Mediating or litigating disputes among heirs or between beneficiaries and executors, including challenges to the will or disagreements over asset distribution.
  • Handling debt and tax matters: Ensuring that outstanding debts, taxes, and estate taxes are properly calculated and paid from the estate’s assets.
  • Distributing assets: Ensuring that assets are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy laws, and that all legal requirements are fulfilled.
  • Closing the estate: Completing the final steps of the probate process, including filing a final accounting with the court and formally closing the estate.

How Are Probate Lawyers Paid?

Probate lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the estate and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Most probate lawyers charge by the hour, with rates depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the estate. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more.
  • Flat fee: For simple estates or straightforward probate tasks, some lawyers may charge a flat fee that covers all of the necessary legal work.
  • Percentage of the estate: In some states, probate lawyers are allowed to charge a percentage of the estate's value as their fee. This percentage typically ranges from 2% to 5%, depending on the size of the estate and state regulations.
  • Retainer fee: Some lawyers may require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the probate process progresses.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how you will be charged and avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Probate Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a probate lawyer depends on several factors, including the complexity of the estate, the type of legal issues involved, and the lawyer’s fee structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Simple estates: For estates with straightforward assets and no disputes, probate legal fees can range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the lawyer's fees and the state's probate laws.
  • Complex estates: For larger or more complicated estates with multiple properties, business interests, or disputes, probate costs can exceed $10,000 and may reach $20,000 or more.
  • Hourly rates: If charged by the hour, expect rates between $150 and $500, depending on the lawyer’s expertise and geographic location.
  • Percentage fees: In some cases, a probate lawyer may charge 2% to 5% of the estate’s value, particularly for larger estates or those involving complex legal matters.

Always ask for a clear estimate of fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost of probate representation.

Top Questions to Ask a Probate Lawyer

Before hiring a probate lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure you’re hiring someone qualified to handle your estate needs. Key questions include:

  1. What experience do you have with probate cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience with estates of similar complexity, especially if disputes or high-value assets are involved.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a percentage of the estate, and request a cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely timeline for my probate case?
    While it’s hard to predict exactly, an experienced lawyer can give you a general idea of how long the probate process may take based on the specifics of your estate.
  4. What steps will you take to manage and distribute the estate?
    Ask about the lawyer’s approach to handling debts, taxes, and asset distribution.
  5. Will you be handling my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your probate case.
  6. What are potential challenges we may face?
    A good lawyer will be able to anticipate possible issues, such as will contests or creditor claims, and explain how they would handle them.

How to Check the Credibility of a Probate Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable probate lawyer, follow these steps to check their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their state bar status: Check with your state’s bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary action.
  • Look for probate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in probate law and have experience handling estates of similar complexity.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for online reviews on platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said about the lawyer’s probate experience.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their professionalism and expertise in handling probate matters.
  • Look for membership in professional organizations: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) can indicate a lawyer's commitment to estate and probate law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a probate lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A copy of the will or trust (if applicable): Bring any estate planning documents left by the deceased, including wills, trusts, or powers of attorney.
  • List of assets and debts: Prepare a detailed list of the deceased’s assets (e.g., real estate, bank accounts, investments) and outstanding debts (e.g., loans, mortgages, credit cards).
  • Death certificate: Bring a certified copy of the deceased person’s death certificate.
  • Contact information for heirs and beneficiaries: Have a list of all individuals or entities named in the will or who are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
  • Questions about the probate process: Write down any questions you have about the process, costs, and potential issues you might face.
  • Relevant financial records: If available, bring any relevant financial documents, such as bank statements, property deeds, and tax returns.

By coming prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and allow the lawyer to provide the best advice for your situation.
