Working long hours just to stay on top of your own workload? Often attorneys end up working evenings and weekends just to take care of the "detail work," or it accumulates, hanging over their heads and depriving them of funds they've already earned! Sometimes lawyers are even forced to limit their practice because they can't explore other aspects of law due to time/resource constraints. By using our independent paralegal services, your time is freed up to handle the more attorney specific needs of your cases. </div> <bR> <div> Services are customized to fit the unique needs of each office.  Please call the office to discuss the hourly rate.  A one time retainer is requested per case and is applied to the work done.  </div> <bR> <div> A statement is mailed once a month and payment is due upon receipt.  </div> <bR> <div> <B>OTHER COSTS:</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>COURT FILING FEE:  </U></div> <div> Initial Court filing fee is according to the size of the estate</div> <bR> <div> <B>NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION:</B></div> <div> Varies by County - $200-$400</div> <bR> <div> PROBATE REFEREE FEE:</div> <div> Receives a commission   of 1/10 of 1% of the total value of the assets appraised, with a minimum fee of $75.00 and a maximum of $10,000</div> <bR> <div> BOND:</div> <div> A bond may or may not be required, but if it is, it is based on the value of the estate.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="389" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="171"><div> Value of Estate</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Premium per $1,000 </div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="171"><div> Up to $6,000</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><div> $50.00 (total cost) </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="171"><div> $6,001 - $60,000</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><div>      5.00</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> $60,000 - $200,000</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><div>      4.00</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> $200,001 - $500,000</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><div>       3.00</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> $500,001 - $1,500,000</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><div>       2.00</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> $1,500,001 and up</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><div>       1.00</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="171"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="171" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="199"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="199" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
