Never say never, retiredguy123.
I knew there was a percentage thing in Ohio, but I did not know what it was, so I looked it up. Yessirreebob, I went straight to the Google. I sure did. Just like I’m supposed to. . .right.
I read on some lawyer’s site that Ohio Law says that legal fees must be “reasonable” and 2 - 2.5 % is deemed reasonable as a percentage of the estate for the lawyer.
Sometimes certain firms, perhaps the hoity-toity ones, want and get those percentages and they hold on to that, while others will do it by the hour.
I don’t know about Florida. But wherever it is, it pays to know how that fee works.
