One of the questions we often receive regarding probate is whether family members can attempt the probate process on their own without the expense of a lawyer. Although it is possible if a judge will agree, the probate process is complicated and can be overwhelming for someone inexperienced with the administration of an estate. Our legal team can save you time, money, and further stress, while helping ease the burden from your shoulders during a difficult time for your family.
Unfortunately, Arkansas permits law firms and lawyers to accept as their legal fee a percentage of the estate as compensation for their role in the probate administration process. By statute, this can be up to 5% of the value of the estate irrespective of the amount of legal work involved. At Fletcher Law Firm, P.A., we believe the estate belongs to the rightful heirs of the estate. Therefore, we never charge nor accept the maximum percentage granted by Arkansas law. Instead, we charge a fixed or an hourly fee for time spent on this important matter.
Although most people think of only the disadvantages associated with probate, it can be advantageous for some estates. For example, an advantage of probate is that it can have the effect of limiting liability and shortening the time allowed for lawsuits to be filed under applicable statutes of limitations. For professionals, this means claims against them and their estates can be shorted from years to months, saving their families from undue hardship and expense later.
