Hours per matter · full administration, with an accounting and real property.

Because of the statutory fees, every hour saved is margin.
Where it goes depends on the firm.

Solo and small firms

Skip the paralegal hire

Run probate without adding headcount, or point the paralegal you have at other matters.

Larger firms

Supercharge the paralegals you have

Each paralegal closes probate work in a third of the hours and moves on to other matters.

Either way

Same fee per matter, hours back

Market for two or three times the probates, take on other matter types, or go home early.
