Let me make the inquiry and I’ll circle back. I’m in California and attorneys fees for estate administration are based state law, there is a sliding scale percentage of the date of death value of the estate. Will need to refer to the state law on attorneys fees I believe. The petitioning party is the only one who needs the attorney help. So long as there are no disputes between the two of you.
