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).
The statutory fee schedule for probate is: If you have a probate estate that contains a $300,000 home and $200,000 in cash, then the estate would pay 4% of the first $100,000 or $4000, 3% percent of the next $100,000 or $3,000, 2% of the next $800,000 or $6,000 for a total of $13,000 in ordinary fees.
