Probate Costs
One of the biggest surprises during probate is discovering the cost. Between attorney fees, court filing fees, executor fees, appraisal costs, and other expenses, probate can easily cost 3-7% of the estate’s value—sometimes more. For a $500,000 estate, that could mean $15,000 to $35,000 in costs before heirs receive any proceeds. Use my Fee Estimator to see what probate might cost in your state.
