Quebec Court Fees for Verification of Wills

Quebec does not charge probate fees, but there are court filing fees to be paid. The fee for verification of wills is increased for inflation on January 1st of each year.

The civil judicial tariff (pdf, in French), can be found in Tarif des frais judiciaires — Réponse en matière civile (Tariff of legal costs — Response in civil matters). 

This pdf file shows in s. 15 that the court fee is $243 for verification of wills (vérification de testaments - scroll down to #8) effective January 1, 2026, increased from $237 for 2025.
