More details to this question:
My mom died in January, 2009. The only asset really was a checking account amounting to $2,150. There are no debts owed. I have 2 siblings. What fair price would be for adjudicating what seems to be a very routine and simple case? I realize the attorney deserves fair compensation. I just don't want to be ripped off, as I have no experience with this sort of thing. Thank you!

All states have short form estate process for small estates. In Ohio, such a simple estate would probably cost around $500.
