Simple, Transparent Pricing

Court filing fees and publication costs are separate from our attorney fees, as they are paid directly to the county and newspaper. In Bexar County, probate filing fees typically range from $300 to $400, and publication costs run around $100 to $200. We'll provide a complete breakdown of all expected costs during your free consultation so there are no surprises.

The "from" price represents our starting rate for straightforward cases. Most cases fall at or near the starting price. In some situations -- such as estates with multiple properties, contested matters, or complex family dynamics -- the fee may be higher. We'll always quote your exact fee during your consultation before any work begins.

Yes, we offer interest-free payment plans for most services. We understand that legal fees on top of funeral expenses can be a burden. We'll work with you to find a payment schedule that fits your budget. Typically, we require a portion upfront and spread the remaining balance over two to three monthly installments.

That's exactly what our free consultation is for. Every family's situation is different, and the right probate path depends on factors like whether there's a valid will, the types of assets involved, and whether all heirs agree. During your consultation, we'll review your situation, explain your options in plain language, and recommend the most efficient path forward.

If unexpected complications arise -- such as a creditor claim, a missing heir, or a contested will -- we'll discuss the situation with you immediately. We'll explain what additional work is needed, provide a clear quote for the additional services, and let you decide how to proceed. We never perform work or charge fees without your explicit approval.
