Michael, Thank you for your in inquiry. I do not know what county the deceased person residing in and that matters when it comes to pricing and length of time things will take. We charge a flat fee of $2,000 to probate a will. Added onto that charge on the fees charged by the probate court. Assuming all siblings are in agreement and all will sign the necessary documents, it will cost about $200 in fees to the probate court. The trickier part of your question is about how long it will take. This depends almost entirely on the county where we must file the petition.  Generally though, you can count on about a month from date of filing for Letters Testamentary to be issued.
