A probate cost estimator calculates attorney fees, executor fees, and court costs for the probate process based on estate value and state law. Probate fees typically run 3–7% of the gross estate value; a $500,000 estate may cost $15,000–$35,000 to probate. Proper planning (revocable trusts, beneficiary designations) avoids probate entirely.
