Between 1 and 2 thousand for a very simple estate. (ie. very few beneficiaries, creditors or assets)
Can be 10 thousand or more for a complicated estate (competing wills, many creditors, court hearings)
A moderate estate would be somewhere in the middle.

No "norm" charges for attorneys to handle an estates as each estate is handled on a case by case basis. In Texas, we can do Small Administration of estates, for example,but some probate matters are more complicated than others. Thus, the attorney must do more work on handling some estates over other estates.
Clients might think that the estate they are wishing to have probated is an easy estate to probate. However, all kinds of things pop up in handling estates being probated, some difficulties are foreseen and sometimes unanticipated problems occur too.

Depends on the attorney. Normal is anywhere from $250 to $600 per HOUR. It would help to know where you are (city/state) to give you a better estimate.
