Probate in Alaska
Alaska does not set a percentage for executor pay. A personal representative may take reasonable compensation, judged under ten factors in the probate rules, and attorney fees follow the same standard. A small estate affidavit is available, but it works with two separate caps, with vehicles treated far more generously than other personal property. Creditors have four months to make claims, which shapes how soon an estate can close. Alaska has no estate tax.
Personal Injury in Alaska
Alaska allows two years to file most injury lawsuits, and the same two-year window applies against a municipality. Your own fault never bars recovery, even at 99%, but it reduces what you can collect. Noneconomic damages are capped in two tiers: a lower cap for ordinary injuries and a higher one for severe injuries. Attorney fees have no statutory cap, and the state's well-known loser-pays rule mostly does not reach personal injury cases.
Family Law in Alaska
Alaska's child support rule, Civil Rule 90.3, takes a percentage of adjusted income that rises with the number of children, subject to an income cap and an offset for shared custody. There is no alimony formula or time limit; courts weigh seven statutory factors. Marital property is divided in a just manner with no fixed percentage. A divorce and a dissolution each have their own timing rules, including a 30-day bar and a 60-day filing rule.
