Florida Probate Cost Calculator
Enter your Florida home’s estimated market value below to see roughly what your family would pay in probate if the property is not held under a Lady Bird Deed, Enhanced Life Estate Deed, or funded trust. Estimates are based on the presumptive reasonable attorney’s-fee schedule in Fla. Stat. § 733.6171, plus a personal-representative commission under Fla. Stat. § 733.617 and typical court filing costs.

How the estimate is built
- Attorney fees follow the presumptive reasonable schedule in Fla. Stat. § 733.6171: a set dollar amount for the first $40,000, then tiered percentages up to 3% on the value between $100,000 and $1 million. Attorney fees are usually the biggest single cost of Florida probate.
- Personal-representative commission under Fla. Stat. § 733.617 pays the estate’s executor. Uses the same tiered percentages as attorney fees.
- Court filing and administrative fees vary by county but generally run $400 to $800 for a formal administration.
- Estimates assume a formal administration on a single Florida property. Summary administration (for small estates under $75,000 or where the decedent has been dead more than two years) can be significantly cheaper, but is not available in most homestead-only scenarios.
How a Lady Bird Deed changes the number
Because a Lady Bird Deed passes the property to the named remainder beneficiary automatically at the grantor’s death, the property is not part of the probate estate. It does not count toward the tiered attorney fee schedule and does not require a personal representative to administer.
The one-time flat fee to prepare an attorney-drafted Florida Lady Bird Deed through LadyBirdDeed.online is $349. That’s the entire cost, once, for the deed. There is no ongoing fee, no funding requirement, and no maintenance work.
