Probate & Estate Administration
Assistance for personal representatives, executors, and families navigating probate in Washington State.
Fees: $350 per hour (billed in six-minute increments)
Probate matters vary depending on estate assets, court involvement, and third-party timelines. When appropriate, matters may be handled in phases or through limited-scope representation tailored to the estate’s specific needs.
What to Expect
Probate often unfolds over several months and is influenced by factors beyond any single party’s control. Flexible payment arrangements are available, including the option to begin work with a modest upfront payment and pay the balance once estate funds become available (for example, following a home sale).
Estate Planning
Strategic planning for individuals and families seeking organization, and peace of mind.
Flat-fee planning options:
- Individual estate plans: Starting at $1,500
- Couples estate plans: Starting at $2,000
Flat-fee plans typically include consultation, document preparation, and execution guidance for common planning needs. Trust-based planning or more complex arrangements are scoped and priced separately and discussed in advance.
Contracts & Advisory Services
Practical legal support for organizations and individuals.
- Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
- Risk and obligation analysis
- Project-based legal advising
Fees: $350 per hour (billed in six-minute increments)
Project-based or limited-scope arrangements may be available depending on the nature of the matter.
Moderate-Means Considerations
GG Counsel is open to discussing limited-scope or phased representations for clients of moderate means where appropriate. Availability depends on the nature of the matter and current capacity.
Note: Court costs, filing fees, and third-party expenses are billed separately.
Technology and Operations Support for Law Firms
(Not Legal Representation)
GG Counsel also provides operational and technology support to law firms seeking practical, reliable solutions to everyday systems and workflow challenges.
This work focuses on ensuring that the tools supporting a firm’s practice are reliable, secure, and working together coherently — from core software and document workflows to the technical issues that can quietly disrupt productivity.
Engagements may include:
- Evaluating and organizing a firm’s technology systems
- Troubleshooting recurring technical issues
- Integrating platforms and reducing redundant tools
- Improving internal processes and documentation
- Assisting with office setup, transitions, or system migrations
