[WSBARP] Personal Representative Fee

[Nicholas Pleasants]

I’ve seen as high as $75/hr approved for a PR that was doing accounting/tax work himself, but that amount was rather shocking. I think $25-$50/hr is more in the normal range, and as Inge said, it should correspond with what the task was.

Please respond to the list.  I’ve been generally advising $20-$30/hr. depending on what the PR had to do to administer the estate.

I would appreciate anyone’s input on recent experiences with the range of hourly rates that are being approved in King County for a family member acting as PR.
