Probate fees in Prince Edward Island: what an estate pays

What it costs to obtain a grant of probate in Prince Edward Island: the rate or tier published by the province or court, with the source.

Probate fees

The Probate Act sets a tiered fee on the probate value, starting at $50 for estates up to $10,000 and for probate needed only to vest title to real property; contested applications and passing of accounts use a percentage scale from 3% down to 0.2% of gross assets. We could not confirm the full tier table or that it is current: ask the Supreme Court Estates Section.

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.
