Thank you for your question.


As the executor of your father’s will,  there are several legal steps involved in administering the estate. These steps include validating the will through Probate, identifying and valuing assets, settling any outstanding debts and taxes, and ultimately distributing assets to the beneficiaries named in the will.


The exact costs can vary significantly depending on factors such as:


The number and type of assets, whether there are any disputes or complications, and the need for valuations (e.g., property, vehicles), fees for publication of notices, court filings, and other professional services.


Because of this variability, it is very difficult to provide even an approximate cost without knowing more details about the estate.


I am available for a consultation to review your specific situation, explain the process in detail, and provide an accurate estimate of the time and costs involved. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation so that we can assist you further.
