The cost for the legal services required to administer estates can vary widely depending on the facts and circumstances of the estate. Under New York law, there are certain factors which should be considered in determining a reasonable legal fee. Those factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, the nature of the work involved, the complexity of the work involved, the amount involved, the reputation of the attorney, the time dedicated to the file, and the results obtained. Pierro, Connor &Strauss will set forth the fee it believes is appropriate for your file in a formal letter of engagement which we will ask you to sign before commencing work on the estate. The legal fees paid are in addition to any fees paid to the Court, experts, or other third party vendors.
