<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know what the law says about personal representative fees regarding complexity of assets etc. I’m trying to get a feel for an appropriate hourly fee for a lay Personal Representative in Pierce County. This is an engineer by trade.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have. <o:p></o:p></p>
