Most probate attorneys charge an hourly rate for probate, plus Court filing fees. Our cost for probate, including filing fees, normally ranges between $1,200.00 and $2,500.00, depending on the nature of the estate, and the work necessary. This includes the Court hearing, filing fees and costs, notice to beneficiaries, published notice to creditors, and inventory, if necessary.
So, for example, if the estate is $800,000 and the statutory probate fee would be $19,000, the cost of settling a trust of that size should be in the range of $6-9,000, given average complexity and no court proceedings or other special issues.
