Costs no statute prices
These are the costs executors most often meet after the filing fee. None of them has a statewide statutory amount, so this site does not estimate them.
Bond
A bond may be required unless a will, consent, or court order waives it. Premiums depend on the bond amount, the estate, and the applicant.
Copies and local charges
Certified copies, recording, inventory, accounting fees, and county surcharges are billed separately from the filing charge.
Professional fees
Attorney, accountant, and appraiser fees are negotiated or court-reviewed. They are not part of any filing schedule.
State-specific limits
- This page models the court set-aside track.
- Values are fixed as of the date of death, and only enforceable liens reduce them. The petition must list any lien the petitioner believes may be unenforceable.
- The affidavit track has different limits and a 40-day wait.
