Estimates only, based on California statutory fee schedules (Prob. Code §§10810, 10800, 13100, 13151) as of 2026. Real property is assumed to be the decedent's primary residence. Actual costs vary by county, extraordinary fees, and case-specific facts. This tool does not constitute legal or tax advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
