Inventory Fee Calculator
This is a graduated fee based on the gross value of all estate assets as of the date of death. For each parcel of real estate, mortgage liens will be deducted up to the value of that parcel for purposes of calculating this fee if the decedent died on or after 3/28/2013. Subtract any applicable mortgage liens before adding up the value of all assets to determine the Inventory Value. Insert that Inventory Value above in the Estate Value box to determine the fee. It must be paid no later than the filing of the Petition for an Order of Complete Estate Settlement, the Sworn Statement, or one year after appointment, whichever is earlier. The court will calculate the exact fee. In the event of a variance the fee calculated by the court shall override the online Inventory Fee Calculator.
