Yes, which is one of the best reasons for anyone to have a revocable living trust that precludes the necessity for involving an attorney in the settlement of the estate. My father failed to have a living trust, only a will, and as a result I had to pay attorneys several thousand dollars to probate his small estate. On the other hand my mother had a living trust, (a much larger estate), and I didn't pay any attorneys. Best to prepare ones estate plans prior to needing an attorney to probate the estate. Without a Trust, even a small estate will require probate, for which you are usually required to hire an attorney.

Whatever you signed the contract for. He can and will charge what he can get away with. Think the government is bad. I saw one charge $3.00 for paperclips.
