How To

Probate Fee Calculator is a new table available in applicable NSW Estate Administration matters. Suited to firms wanting accurate, regulation-aligned fee estimates at the point of opening a matter, it provides a single, structured place to calculate Supreme Court professional fees and filing fees for probate, resealing, and letters of administration work, removing the need to look up scale costs or filing fee schedules manually.

The calculator is based on the Legal Profession Uniform Law Application Regulation 2025 - Schedule 3 (professional fees) and the NSW Supreme Court Fees schedule (filing fees).

Available Matter Types

The Probate Fee Calculator is available in the following NSW matter types:

Probate
Reseal
Letters of Administration

Support for additional matter types and jurisdictions will be considered in future releases based on any applicable scale costs and filing fees available.
