Probate Fee Calculator
Estimate probate fees for an estate in any Canadian province or territory.
What are probate fees?
Probate is the court process that confirms a will is valid and gives the executor legal authority to manage the estate. Each province and territory charges its own fees for this, and they range from nothing at all to more than 1.5% of the estate’s value. A clear, up-to-date will makes the process easier for your loved ones.
