Probate Court
Fees and Costs
Decedent's Estate
Upon the death of any person, some or all of the following
costs may be payable to settle the decedent's affairs: (a) probate fees
and taxes that are fixed by law; (b) fees of an executor or
administrator that are subject to the approval of the Probate Court; and
(c) attorney's fees that are also subject to the approval of the Probate
Court.
Decedent's Estate Fees: (for estates in which proceedings commence on
or after 4/1/98) The minimum fee is $150.00 for a full probate estate
with a gross taxable value of less than $10,000.
In estates where the gross taxable estate is less than $600,000 and
no succession tax return is required to be filed, a probate fee of .1%
shall be charged against non-solely owned real estate, in addition to
any other fees.
The fee is based on the greater of: 1) the gross
taxable estate for succession tax purposes (Sec. 12-349), OR the
inventory (probatable estate) OR the Connecticut taxable estate as
defined in C.G.S. 12-391, as amended, OR the gross estate for estate tax
purposes (Ch. 217 and 218 of the Connecticut General Statutes), PLUS all
damages recovered for injuries resulting in death, LESS hospital and
medical expenses and attorney’s fees and costs, LESS 50% of any portion
of the property passing to the surviving spouse.

How Are Probate Charges Used by the Probate
Court?
Statutory charges paid to the Probate Court are used to pay
the salaries of the court staff and certain operational expenses. After
payment of such costs, the net sum is retained by the judge as his or
her only compensation, subject to an assessment levied by the State of
Connecticut. The statute strictly limits the amount a judge may retain
as compensation, and it now permits a court with insufficient income to
meet its reasonable and necessary operating expenses by requesting a
subsidy from the Probate Court Administrator.
