Each province and territory is different and a chart of the court probate fees by province is shown at the end of this post. There is no fee or a very low fee for smaller estates. The areas of Canada that have a maximum fee are Alberta ($400) and Quebec ($65).
Probate fees in Canada vary with the size of the estate; the more valuable the assets, the higher the fee. Canadian law allows the fees to be paid out of the estate. Verify with the tax bureau that the testator has filed and paid all income taxes.
