California’s statutory probate fees can add up quickly—especially for larger estates. Plus, additional court and administrative expenses can significantly increase the total cost.

 

Typical total probate costs in California may reach 4%–7% of the estate’s gross value when all expenses are included. For example, a $1,000,000 estate could incur $23,000 for the attorney and another $23,000 for the executor in statutory probate fees alone.

 

That makes estate planning tools like living trusts—which can help avoid or reduce probate—not just convenient, but financially wise.
