How Much Does Probate Cost In California?

Posted on | September 23, 2008 |

Probate is an expensive proposition in California. The cost will vary depending upon the size of the estate, but one thing is guaranteed – your estate will pay much more than the cost of a living trust. San Diego probate fees include the cost of filing, notice of publication in the San Diego Union Tribune, real property appraisal by the probate referee, a probate bond, attorney’s fees, and executor’s fees. The TLD legal blog estimates that the probate of a $500,000 estate will generate $28,035 in costs and fees.
