my mother-in-law passed away. she had a will that pretty much covered everything. except her name was the only one on the deed to her property. we wee told that for this reason in oklahoma, we still had to go through probate. our lawyer told us he needed a retainer fee, which we gave him. it was my understanding (of course i don't know anything about this stuff) that the retainer fee was all he got until the property was sold. he has billed us for everything from filing fees to postage charges. my question is--since we have paid him for all serves as we went, will he still be entitled to a percentage of the estate?
