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 are based on the gross value of the Estate: This represents .7% of the first $50,000 and 1.4% of everything over $50,000. We frequently are asked about placing assets in joint tenancy with a family member to avoid probate fees later on.
