How Much Does Probate Cost in California

Probate costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the estate.

In addition to statutory attorney fees, estates may incur court filing fees, appraisal fees, and other administrative expenses.

Because statutory fees are calculated based on the gross value of the estate, estates that include real estate may have higher probate costs.
