Questions
What does it cost?
From $330. Starting rates. Your exact price is quoted after we confirm a local notary/runner, before you pay. Booking it sends a quote request: nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Billed at cost, on top: the Surrogate's fees.
How do I book it?
Use the booking form: it opens with the package selected. Pick a time, and the desk confirms it by email. Your time isn't guaranteed until that email arrives.
Which papers do you file at the Surrogate?
The papers you give us, exactly as you give them. We don't prepare court papers or advise on what to file. If you are representing yourself, you are responsible for the content and accuracy of the documents you give us to file. Some Surrogate steps, like applying for probate, need the executor in person or by appointment; the desk tells you if a step can't be done by a runner.
How do I get the executor kit?
It comes by email as a download link right after you book, and it's free with the package (it's $25 on its own).
Do I need witnesses?
Choose 0, 1 or 2 witnesses when you book; the price changes with the number. Witnesses can't be people who inherit under the will.
Do rush, after-hours or weekend fees apply?
No. We don't add fixed rush, after-hours, weekend or extra-signer surcharges. If a part of the package has an extra cost, it is itemized on the quote before you book.
Can I use a business plan credit on a package?
No. Packages are already priced below the separate prices, so plan credits and the plan discount don't apply to them.
Is this legal advice?
No. We are not lawyers. The notary and our team don't explain documents, choose what to sign or file, or give legal, tax or financial advice, and we don't guarantee how a court, agency or receiving party treats your documents.
