That is my question...can a person who holds the power of attorney for another person charge fees in the state of Georgia? And if so, is there some type of fee structure?
The fees vary. Some DUI Attorney would charge high, other low. It's really a hard task finding a competent attorney who doesn't rip out your savings.
A Power of Attorney has no relationship to the estate. A Power of Attorney automatically ends at the death of the grantor. The will names an executor who will be responsible for the administration of the estate. If there is no will, the court can appoint an executor. If there is no family member that all the beneficiaries agree can be the executor, the court will appoint a bank or attorney to serve as the executor, at the appropriate fees, of course. Consult a probate attorney in your state or country for further information. The executor named in the will or the administrator appointed through the court if there is no will is in charge of the estate after death. The power of attorney has no effect once the grantor dies.
There is no set charge. Different attorneys charge different fees.
YES you can.. but they will still charge you fees.
Not necessarily If you can do it yourself then it will not cost you anything. If you have an attorney do it, there will be a reasonable and legitimate charge for the time the attorney has devoted the service you requested. In the event that the power of attorney has to be recorded in state recording offices there will be a charge for the recording fees and there may also be a charge if the previous power had been recording and now has to be cancelled of record.
Your attorney, or the other side's attorney? In an hourly fee basis, your attorney can charge you for all of his or her time spent on a matter, including time spent conducting, preparing or responding to discovery. In a contingency basis, you do not pay your attorney for hourly fees, but you do pay your attorney's costs if you have a favorable outcome (i.e. settle the cases for value or obtain a judgment).
Generally, unless the fees are excessive, attorneys are free to charge as much or as little as they want, and do so with whatever fee schedule they want. If the client does not like the billing method, they can hire a different attorney. It is common for attorneys to charge a set retainer that they bill against. Once that retainer has been used, they would then ask that the retainer be replenished.
No. Attorney's fees are only awarded in certain cases.
They do not pay the estate attorney's fees, the estate does. If they hire their own attorney, yes, they have to pay them.
as the saying goes "Only a fool will hire himself as an attorney"! No, you cannot get attorney 's fees unless you are a licenced attorney representing a client other than your self!!!
Typically, an SSI attorney charges fees on a contingent basis, which means they only receive payment if they win your case. The fee is usually a percentage of the backpay owed to you by the Social Security Administration, up to a maximum set by law. These fees are subject to approval by the SSA.
The fees associated with a Corona attorney can vary depending on the lawyer's experience, the complexity of the case, and the services provided. Attorneys typically charge by the hour or a flat fee for specific services. It's advisable to discuss fees and payment arrangements with the attorney before hiring them.
