Probate costs, which are paid from the Estate before anything can be distributed to the heirs, are usually estimated from 4% to 15% of the gross value of the Estate. Attorney and Executor fees are not based upon the amount of work involved in the probate process, but are based upon the value of the Estate that you have worked so hard to build.
