What is the average cost to probate a will?

0

There are different types of costs. There are court costs. Unless there are many claims and other litigation the total court costs should be less than four hundred ($400.00) dollars. Then there are other fees that are dependent on the size and nature of assets. These fees are typically incurred for legal proceedings, for appraisals of real and personal property, and for preparations of tax returns. No two estates are alike and it is very difficult if not impossible to determine what is average. Then too, there are costs incurred in actually transferring assets. The probate process gives some one or ones the right to transfer assets. There are additional costs involved in order to exercise this right. A full list of court costs can be found HERE.
