Probate in Delaware

Delaware has no fixed percentage for executor pay: commissions and attorney fees are set under Court of Chancery Rule 192, and an amount is presumed reasonable unless challenged. The small-estate threshold can vary by county. Creditors face an eight-month bar that runs from the date of death, and probate is handled through the Court of Chancery itself. Delaware has no estate tax.

Personal Injury in Delaware

Delaware gives two years for most injury claims and has an unusual advance-notice rule for claims against Wilmington. Delaware bars recovery only when your fault exceeds the defendant's, which means a 50-50 split still pays. Compensatory damages are not capped, and neither are attorney fees outside medical malpractice, which has its own three-tier limit.

Family Law in Delaware

Delaware uses the Melson Formula for child support: a self-support allowance, a primary support amount, a standard of living adjustment and credits for parenting time. Alimony can last up to half the length of the marriage, with no limit after 20 years, and depends on a dependent-party test. Marital property is divided in proportions the court deems just. A divorce needs six months of residence before filing and six months of separation before a ruling.
