On average, how much does probate cost?

There are statutory guidelines with regard to the attorneys fees for a probate. Typically, they're 3% of the value of the assets once they're at a 100,000 dollars. There's a minimum usually of 1,500 dollars for probate. In addition to the attorneys fee, there's a court filing fee of 400 dollars and there's also a fee for publication of the notice to creditors in the newspaper. That's the notice letting creditors know that if they have any claims, they have the ability to file a notice with the court so they can get paid.
