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 some states, such as Florida, probate can be an expensive process. In Tennessee, it is straightforward. The costs of probating a Will and administering an estate are paid from the assets of the deceased person. In most cases the court costs in the Middle Tennessee area for probate will be under $500. The other costs of probate are primarily attorney and accountant fees, which can range from several thousand dollars to tens of thousands depending on the complexity of the estate. Again, these fees are paid from the assets of the deceased person, and these fees and expenses may also be tax deductions.
