Some estates are more complicated to settle, such as where there are multiple executors, business interests, trusts, multi-jurisdictions, or where legislation requires an attorney or there is legal or tax advice or additional documents needed. In such cases, add-ons may apply and/or it may be necessary to engage external professionals at an additional cost to the estate.
