Does anybody have any information on the "normal" lawyer's fees or % basis for
the work to be done in handling a very routine estate? The figure 5% has been
tossed about, yet I have heard that it is not a fixed either in law or by the
Law Society. Assume a $100,000 estate with no real complications and about
3 hours by a senior lawyer and 8 hours by an articling neophyte.
