Cost of probate of a will, after someone dies?
I'd like to know what people have paid for probate of a will, after someone has died. As far as I can see online, and from a few informal enquiries, the cheapest is $750+GST (plus High Court fee of $200), and informal enquiries have said $1200 or $2000. I'm just talking about the application to the High Court to validate the will - not advising about who gets what, or the actual estate administration, which can be done separately. Thank you for any feedback or insights you can give.
