What probate costs in Florida
- Attorney fees. Florida law sets a "reasonable" fee schedule for formal administration (Fla. Stat. 733.6171): $1,500 for estates up to $40,000, $2,250 up to $70,000, $3,000 up to $100,000, then 3% of the next $900,000. A $300,000 estate works out to about $9,000.
- Personal representative fees. The person running the estate can take a fee on the same schedule, though many family members waive it.
- Court costs. Filing fees, certified copies and publishing the notice to creditors usually run several hundred dollars.
- Carrying costs on the house. Mortgage, property taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care and HOA dues keep coming while the case is open, often 6 to 12 months.
Who pays: the estate, not you
Probate expenses are paid out of the estate. You are not personally on the hook for your parent’s debts or the attorney’s bill just because you are an heir. The catch is timing: the estate may have a house worth $300,000 and almost no cash.

“This was a fast and smooth sale and they assumed all my issues with this house.”
“I was able to sell my house in Hialeah while working my busy life as a mom, nurse, and wife all the way in Colorado. This was a fast and smooth sale and they assumed all my issues with this house. It has a failed city re-occupancy, violations, and liens. They also closed on the property with occupants and gave us 3 weeks after closing before we had to leave due to the Holidays. Wow, I haven’t worked with a company that had these types of morals and values in a long time. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs immediate cash for houses with violations, liens and other distressing issues. Thank you All About Real Estate for making this Christmas memorable.”

6 ways to cover the costs
- Estate bank accounts. Once the court appoints a personal representative, they can open an estate account and use the decedent’s cash.
- Ask the attorney about timing. Many probate attorneys take part of the fee when the house sells.
- An heir advances the money and gets reimbursed. Keep every receipt; the estate pays you back before distribution.
- Check for a shortcut. Summary administration (Fla. Stat. 735.201) is faster and cheaper when the estate, minus exempt property, is under $75,000, or the person died more than 2 years ago.
- Sell the house. With court approval or the authority in the will, the personal representative can sell, pay the bills at closing, and split what is left.
- Sell to a buyer who covers the attorney. When we buy a probate house and the estate uses our probate attorney, we pay the attorney fees, so the family does not have to come up with that money.
Selling a probate house for cash
Most probate houses I buy have sat empty for months: deferred repairs, a full house of belongings, sometimes an out-of-state heir who has never seen it. We buy as-is, leave the cleanout to us, work with the probate attorney on court approval, and close on the date that fits the case. If the estate uses our probate attorney, we pay the attorney fees. Either way, the estate pays nothing in commissions.
