Some probate lawyers will handle a will contest or trust dispute on a contingency basis.
The contingency fee is controlled in some states, in terms of limiting what percent of the recovery can be taken in fees.
Typically, fees will run from 30% of the recovery, up to 40%, depending on a number of factors, including the amount at issue, the complexity of the case, and the perceived chance of a successful outcome.
Some lawyers taking a case on a contingency basis will require the client to pay the costs of the litigation, such as expert witness fees and court reported costs. In some instances, the lawyer will advance the costs of the case, taking reimbursement when there is a recovery.
