You need to speak to a probate attorney in your area. Every lawyer charges a different fee based on the complexity of the case, experience, etc.
Attorney ethics rules require attorneys to charge fees that are reasonable in light of the amount and type of work required. In guardianships courts often get involved with fees. There are no average fees for guardianships because the circumstances vary greatly from one case to another.
There is no "average" charge. Every attorney's charges are different. It is not just the attorney's costs that are involved. If your father is not willing to voluntarily allow a guardianship/conservatorship, then you'll have to make it involuntary, and that means that you'll have to gather medical experts to testify that such a move is necessary.

Reasonable compensation for the guardian is rarely the most expensive part of the court-appointed guardianship process. The legal process can unfortunately be long and costly. Some common costs of guardianship include: 1 Court costs for filing the guardianship petition 2 Attorney’s fees for filing the guardianship petition 3 Fees for professionals who attest to the adult’s incapacity (doctors, psychologists, social workers, etc.) 4 Attorney’s fees for the attorney appointed to represent the adult’s interests 5 Costs of notifying family members of hearings and proceedings 6 Ongoing attorney’s fees during the course of guardianship 7 Accounting fees for recordkeeping and audits
In cases where there is too much discord amongst family members, or there are no family members to serve as guardian, the court can appoint a professional or public guardian instead.
Some common responsibilities of a guardian include: Prudently managing the adult’s assets and investments.
Types of guardianships and their corresponding duties may include: 1 Guardianship Of The Person: This type gives the guardian the ability to manage the incapacited person’s healthcare and medical needs. Their duties include making and attending doctor’s appointments, dealing with insurance issues, paying medical bills, coordinating with assisted living or nursing homes, amongst others. 2 Guardianship Of The Estate: Also called Guardian of Property, this appointment puts the guardian in charge of all of the incapacitated person’s finances and assets. Monitoring bank accounts and assets, filing taxes, and handling personal and real property are just some of the things that a guardian of the estate does. 3 Plenary Guardianship: A plenary guardian combines the duties of both the guardianship of the person and of the estate. This means that they are charged with the incapacitated adult’s healthcare needs and the management of their estate.
Plenary Guardianship: A plenary guardian combines the duties of both the guardianship of the person and of the estate.
