Is my attorney over charging me

Robert W. Hughes
Answered by attorney Robert W. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
It is difficult to say what is high, or low, or the right price.  Attorneys have an ethical duty not to charge too much to their clients.  However, what is too much cannot be defined until after a case concludes.  It sounds like your attorney is proposing to work on a contingency fee.  In that case, a 1/3 fee is not necessarily high.  On the other hand, if you pay for the services up front and pay an hourly fee, then $8,000 seems high to establish an estate.  However, there is a lot that goes into creating and administering and estate, and I cannot tell what the complexities might be in this matter, what other assets might exist, what bills must be paid, etc.  Therefore, your best way to determine what a fair price is will be to interview two or three lawyers who specialize in probate work and see which lawyer you like and which lawyer charges you what you perceive to be a fair price.

Does my ex husbands wife have the authority to ask for my childrens birth certificates?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Probably. If she is the personal representative of the Trust or Will, she may need to determine which children of his survived him and who did not. You may be able to provide that data in a redacted form to the Court directly. If the Estate is in Puerto Rico you should seek counsel there. If the Estate is in Nevada, a Nevada attorany could assist you.

Lawyer or financial advisor or friend

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You can incorporate a trust for your grandchildren in your Will. You can state who will be the trustee or co-trustees. You can appoint people as a trust protector or to a trust advisory committee. You can write a letter to the trustee or co-trustees expressing your intent that the trustee or co-trustees consult with certain professionals or even continue to have the funds managed by a certain professional. Your estate planning attorney can help you do this right.
