California Probate

The attorneys’ fees are based on the estate appraisal and set by California Probate Code §10810 as follows:

• 4% of the first $100,000 of the estate
• 3% of the next $100,000
• 2% of the next $800,000
• 1% of the next $9,000,000
• One-half % of the next $15,000,000

For example, for a $500,000.00 estate, the attorneys’ fees would be $13,000.00 (4% of first $100,000 ($4,000), plus 3% of second $100,000 ($3,000), and 2% of every $100,000 after that – $6,000).   These fees are paid by the estate at the end of the case.

** Small Estate Probate cases are usually a flat fee – depending on the case –  and would be discussed during your consultation.
