Flat Fees. Itâs very common for a lawyer to charge a flat fee to write a will and other basic estate planning documents. The low end for a simple lawyer-drafted will is around $300. A price of closer to $1,000 is more common, and itâs not unusual to find a $1,200 price tag.
Depending on the complexity of the circumstances, total probate costs are estimated to run 2-7 percent of the value of the estate, or $2,000-$7,000 for an estate (house, cars, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, etc.) worth $100,000. Probate laws vary considerably by state, so costs vary also. A Utah attorney estimates that the average cost of probating an uncontested will there is $2,000-$3,000. An attorney in the state of Washington pegs it at $2,500-$5,000. California law sets maximum amounts that can be paid to the executor and attorney in a standard probate process; for a $100,000 estate it's $4,000 each or $8,000 total; for a $500,000 estate it's $13,000 each or $26,000 total.
