Probate Fee Calculator

Probate Fee Calculator

The calculator below estimates the cost of taking a person’s estate through a probate court process after death. State law sets probate fees as a percentage of the market value of a person’s assets subject to probate (real estate, bank accounts, business interests, etc.) without subtracting the person’s debts from that value. Retirement accounts that have designated beneficiaries and assets placed in a living trust are generally not subject to probate. You can use the calculator below to estimate Probate attorney’s fees and executor commissions for the administration of estates valued over $150,000.
