I tell my PRs to charge two rates based on what the Commissioners have done in the past?
Ask yourself, can I hire someone to do this task and if yes, how much would they charge?

Clean up of home, dump runs, packing, donating items to Goodwill, etc.                    $25.00 hr.
Meeting with CPA, gathering and making excel spreadsheets, meeting
  With attorney, dealing with professionals at bank, brokerage firms,
   Stock decisions, etc.                                                                                                                   $50-60 hr.

Then, keep a journal log and present when asking for fees.

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.
