  • For probate, ask about the realistic timeline and total cost for a Lockhart-area estate before you engage.

  • Is this a flat fee or hourly, and what exactly does it cover?

  • Will you help fund the trust and store the documents?
  • How do updates work as laws or my family change?
  • Who will handle my file day to day?
