Each province and territory is different and a chart of the court probate fees by province is shown at the end of this post. There is no fee or a very low fee for smaller estates. The areas of Canada that have a maximum fee are Alberta ($400) and Quebec ($65).
Probate is usually a matter of filing papers; thereâs no trial and there may be no court appearances at all. So letâs say your probate estate contains a $600,000 house you own in your name alone, plus some bank and brokerage accounts and a car. The total value is $900,000. The attorneyâs statutory fee would be $21,000âfor very little paperwork.
