Wills, probate and estate law

Probate and estate lawyers, with the fees the law sets

Most of what a probate lawyer costs is decided by your state, not the firm: whether probate is needed at all, and in some states a fee schedule written into the statute. We publish that first, with the citation, and name firms only where a named attorney is active on the state bar roster. We do not endorse or recommend any attorney.

Metros with listed firms

Each pin is a metro with listed firms. Every firm has an attorney on the state bar roster or with a recognized credential. Each state's largest metro is named with its count; the rest open on a click.

By state

Every state has a page. It shows the probate rule and any statutory fee schedule once a person has checked them against the statute, and metros once three firms there have a roster-checked or credentialed attorney.
