<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">I believe this was discussed last year on the KCBA Elder Law Bar-Bench CLE, the Commissioners indicated that $25-$75/hour could be reasonable depending on
the type of work involved. Commissioners have also indicated a preference for different rates for different tasks, especially if it is a house that needs a lot of cleanup, so that cleanup is not being billed the same as banking/accounting. I know clients get
in their mind it is easier to bill a flat rate, so trying to figure out rates for different tasks is not something I have done very often.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
