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).
In British Columbia, fees are charged to an estate prior to receiving a grant of probate, these are called âprobate fees.â Obtaining a grant of probate is the process by which a will is validated or approved by a court. If an estateâs value is over $25,000 it must be probated before the assets can be distributed.
