A quick definition of probate fee:

Probate fee: A fee that is charged when someone's will is being processed after they have passed away. This fee is paid to the court and is used to cover the costs of administering the estate.

A more thorough explanation:

PROBATE FEE

A probate fee is a fee charged by the court for the legal process of distributing a deceased person's assets according to their will or state law.

For example, if a person dies and leaves behind a will, the probate court will charge a fee to oversee the distribution of their assets to their beneficiaries. The fee is usually a percentage of the total value of the estate.

Another example is if a person dies without a will, the probate court will charge a fee to appoint an administrator to distribute the assets according to state law.

The examples illustrate how a probate fee is charged by the court for the legal process of distributing a deceased person's assets. The fee is charged whether the person left behind a will or not, and is usually a percentage of the total value of the estate. The probate fee is necessary to ensure that the distribution of assets is done legally and fairly.
