Before you call
- Ask the size of the estate first
- Below the state's small-estate limit there may be no probate at all. The New York rule →
- Ask how the fee is set
- Flat, hourly, or a percentage of the estate, and whether the statute caps it. A quote is not a bill until it is in writing.
- Check the name yourself
- Every attorney here is checked against the bar roster; the roster is public and you can look too.
