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).
Additional Probate Costs: What Other Fees May be Expected? Additional fees include probate courtâs fees, which is $320 in California, plus surcharges. California has lower court costs than other states, which can charge from $1,000 to $3,000, due to a law limiting cost hikes. Other fees go to the appraisal of the estate by referees, who receive 0.1% of the assets in California. The costs of probate vary from state to state.
