Probate Cost Calculator
Probate generally occurs if some dies with or without a will. Often you will hear that going through probate is more costly than if you have a valid and fully funded trust in place. So in order to help you understand what that means, we have provided you a probate cost calculator below. This tool will help you estimate the potential costs (attorney fees + executor fees + court costs) an estate could face if that estate does not utilize a trust.
Below you can enter any dollar amount between $184,500 and $25,000,000. The calculator will use the statutory compensator fees for attorneys & executors set forth in California Probate Code §§ 10800 & 10810.
The number you enter below should be the gross value of the estate. Meaning the estimated value of all the assets in the estate without subtracting liabilities. For example, if the hypothetical estate has a house worth $650,000, cars worth $40,000, bank counts worth $10,000, and personal property worth another $20,000, then the gross value of the estate would be ($650,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $20,000) = $720,000. So you should input $720,000 below.
Please enter the value of the estate between $184,500.00 and $25,000,000.00. *This probate fee calculator is for informational purposes only and should not be considered nor relied on in place of legal advice as it is only a general estimate and is not fact specific.
