Somebody please tell me if the following charges are appropriate on an estate worth $117,000 with a simple will. My disbarred and former jailbird brother-in-law handled the legalities of probating the estate and sister (his wife) was the excutrix:
"Professional Services, including legal filing for probate, Financial Accounting, Interim tax returns, preparation of contracts for failed sale, preparation of lease for house and options to purchase to tenant, negotiation with attorney for buyer, preparation of deed and closing of title (62 hours @$40/hour) - $2,480.00
Statutory fees to Executrix - $5,711.
I've already been cheated out of $10,000 of the estate by being charged outrageous over-inflated amounts for furnishings that I did take out of my parent's house, now I want to see if I bought the mine on the legal fees charged as well. Someone please respond and let me know if the charges were reasonable.
Thank you.
