Advocate Fees for preparing Will


18-Apr-2023 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
I am a Hindu, aged 70+. I hired an advocate for preparing my will, which he prepared. Thereafter, on my own I asked him to make several major changes to that Will for 8 to 10 times, which alterations from my end went on for more than 6 months. For all this, how much my advocate should charge me? I feel the fees quoted by him is to high.

Well, the Legal fees of Private Advocates has not been fixed by the Government yet. You can pay your lawyer as per the understanding reached out between the two of you while you have assigned him the work for the first time and then for each and every time, when you asked him to do the requisite changes in the Draft Will.

The fees will be Rs 10,000/- . Registration for the same will be charged separately. If you take a long time to finalise then the charges may increase. 8 to 10 times correction incurs additional fees. if your advocate is charging extra then it should be reasonable and even you should give changes once and for all
