Pricing Questions, Answered
Our document templates and online system are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
What do the two fees cover?
The platform fee covers the guided system, our Texas court templates, document generation, the portal, and the probate specialist hours listed for your service. The attorney fee covers the attorney’s review of your documents, filing, and appearance at your hearing, up to 2 hours of attorney time. If your estate needs legal work beyond your service, such as serving an heir who will not sign, a family allowance, a deed, or a closing report, you can hire our attorney for it from your portal at a separate charge: a consultation ($150 for 30 minutes or $275 for an hour), or a $50 case review followed by a written quote. Court costs and any attorney ad litem fee the court orders are separate, and you choose how to pay them. For filings we make, we send you a payment link for the county’s exact charge, with no markup, and we file once it is paid. You can instead file a reviewed document yourself and pay the clerk directly. You can pay an attorney ad litem directly, or pay us by payment link and we pay the ad litem the same day. In an intestate administration, the court appoints an attorney ad litem to represent unknown heirs.
What does a probate specialist do?
Each service includes the number of probate specialist hours listed on its card for the practical, non-legal work of settling an estate: setting up the estate bank account, getting access to account records, gathering death certificates and statements, coordinating creditor payments and receipts, status calls with heirs and beneficiaries, compiling information for the inventory and accountings, and working with real estate agents, appraisers, and notaries. Specialists do not give legal advice; legal questions go to the attorney. Additional specialist time is available at $125 per hour, billed after the work is done.
What is the 3-business-day evaluation period?
After you hire us, we hold an intake call to look for issues such as disputes, minor beneficiaries, creditors who will go unpaid, heirs with unknown addresses, or a pending foreclosure. During the first 3 business days after you hire us, either of us can end the engagement for any reason, and we refund your platform fee, less any court filing fees or other costs already paid. The attorney fee is never charged until the attorney’s work is done.
Do I have to talk to someone before I buy?
No. You can buy online right away. The detailed conversation happens in your intake call after you sign up.
What if I picked the wrong service?
We tell you in your intake call and switch you to the right one, adjusting the platform fee up or down.
What if the estate is contested or large?
Our services cover uncontested matters only. For will contests, family disputes, or large and complex estates, we refer you to a firm that handles those cases.
