Under Florida Law, the fees for a probate must be reasonable. Many lawyers charge the statutory rates of approximately 3% of the estate. This fee schedule is only a guideline and is not necessarily reasonable. In addition, we have seen probate fees that include the percentage on non probate assets like a homestead. This is clearly not permitted under the statutes and case law. If you would like a quote on a Florida Probate Contact a Florida Probate Lawyer.
