I just checked. The official terminology was that the co-executors appointed the attorney to be our “personal representative” in closing the estate. Just to give some feel for the order of magnitude of costs, the fees were under $10,000 and that including setting up a trust fund. I suspect that we might have saved $5,000 at most doing it ourselves, with a big potential for headache being out of state.
