Fees are set by the probate code for administrators of estates as a percentage of the gross estate, generally the same for a lawyer representing the administrator of the estate.

As to your husband's not signed will, if his present desires are the same as the provisions set forth in the original document, then all he needs to do is have two witnesses present when he signs the will, declaring that this is is last will and testament, and have the witnesses sign the will, providing their addresses and date the same as the date your husband signs. Those witnesses should not be any beneficiary listed to receive in the will. Just some additional advice: The both of you, if you have any property of any kind, should consider a marital trust and save your estate and heirs a lot of money, without having to go through probate, and subjecting your personal business to public view, rather doing wills.
