How much does it typically cost to settle an estate?
Estate settlement costs typically range from 3-7% of the estate's total value, including probate court fees, legal fees, executor compensation, and potential taxes. The actual amount varies significantly based on the estate's complexity, state laws, and whether the estate goes through probate. Larger estates or those with disputes among beneficiaries often incur higher costs.
