How much SS will I get as x spouse?

Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
The "spouse benefit" referred to by the quoted language is one-half of your former spouse's benefit, not his actual benefit amount. "Spouse benefit" means the benefit payable to a person's spouse (or former spouse, in this case). If your individual benefit under your record is higher than the spouse benefit payable under your former spouse's record, which is one-half his benefit, then you would only receive your individual benefit. So it sounds like you are getting the maximum amount you are entitled to.

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.
