The gross value of the estate is found by summing the value of all estate assets located in New South Wales, such as bank accounts, real estate, shares, acommodation bonds etc. Note: in most cases, super & life insurance are not included in this gross value calculation.


In addition to the Solicitor and Court Fees, there are other fees to take into account.

Two online notices are required as part of your Probate application, these are:

  • Notice of Intended Application for Probate (or Administration) — $55.00
  • Notice of Intended Distribution of Estate — $55.00

We publish both these notices for our clients at-cost.

Other firms may add hidden costs, including additional meetings, phone calls, emails, postage costs and so on. Be wary of these hidden costs! At National Probate and Estates Group we do not add such costs onto our services; our fixed-fee matters always clearly explain the costs up-front, without any surprises at the time of invoice.
