What's the cost to have a estate document done?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Whether you can open an estate using a small estate affidavit or must file an application with the local probate court turns on state law and the size and nature of your father's estate.  Either is likely to cost more than $600.  If that is all he left (besides some old clothes and shoes), you may prefer to let the check go to unclaimed property with the state comptroller's office and, years from now, try to prove to that office who your father's heirs are.

What type of law firm specializes in all-inclusive estate services, like taking care of taxes, paying bills, sale of house & belongings, etc.?

Christopher Kennedy Caswell
Answered by attorney Christopher Kennedy Caswell (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christopher K. Caswell, P.A.
While some law firms might take on those services, normally that sort of transactional detail will have the personal representative or executor (or trustee if that is how the assets are held) take the lead in gathering and liquidating the assets of an estate. However, the personal representative or executor will usually hire professionals to do the specific necessary services, such as an attorney to do the required court filings, an accountant to make the required tax filings and perhaps a real estate agent to help with the sale of real property. An alternative is to name an institutional personal representative or executor (such as a large bank with trust powers or even a private trust company) and they might be willing to handle that level of detail, although it is likely they will also hire ancillary professionals to help them do that. This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.
