My Mother recently passed in Dallas county with a will. I helped my Mother with her will by visiting a local attorney and agreeing to be her executor. I had no idea that that was just the beginning.
I am one of five brothers and she left a house worth about $85,000 to the youngest boy and the rest of us agreed to that situation, we all signed paperwork which documented that we were disinterested in any claim.
My Mother passed a few months ago and now the attorney wants $1500 to probate the will, well at least he said that's about what is customary money wise.
$1500 seems like an awful lot to transfer title of a paid for property to my brother.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated
