Open ProvincesProbate fees in Manitoba: what an estate pays
What it costs to obtain a grant of probate in Manitoba: the rate or tier published by the province or court, with the source.
Probate fees
A probate charge based on the value of the estate is set by a schedule under the Law Fees and Probate Charge Act, and the Court of King's Bench Probate Division publishes a probate calculator. We could not read the schedule here. Related court fees: $30 per certified copy of a grant, $30 for a caveat, $150 to pass accounts.
Fees are charged on the value of the estate at death (the rules for which assets count differ) and are paid when you apply. Lawyer fees and other court fees are separate. Rates change: confirm with the court before filing. Where a province's tier table could not be read, we say so rather than guess. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
