All acting executors must agree to engaging ClearEstate and estate must be free from conflicts or claims.
Settlement plan fees do not include the cost of notarization of signatures or documents, notice to creditors, estate administration tax, costs to transfer real title, services rendered to other professionals, such as appraisers, property managers, etc., or other estate expenses unless otherwise specified.
Some estates are more complicated to settle, such as where there are multiple executors, business interests, trusts, multi-jurisdictions, or where legislation requires an attorney or there is legal or tax advice or additional documents needed. In such cases, add-ons may apply and/or it may be necessary to engage external professionals at an additional cost to the estate.
