What the bill is made of
These are our flat fees for the wills and estates matters we price -- each one is its own fixed charge, not a percentage of anything.

Estate Administration Tax (probate) is a separate government tax, based on the estate’s value — not part of our fee for handling the probate application. See the Estate Administration Tax Calculator for that number.

How to pay, and what happens next
Open your file online — nothing is due to start most wills matters. Our Team sends a written quote itemizing our fee before any work begins, and most files are billed on completion or by an agreed phase for larger estate matters. If anything about your file turns out to be more complex than usual, we pause, explain what changed, and confirm the extra cost with you before doing the work.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a will cost in Ontario?
With us, a single will starts at $563.87, and a couple's matching wills start at $1,467.87 together -- both flat fees, HST included.
Is probate the same as your fee?
No. Probate -- the Estate Administration Tax the court charges -- is a separate government charge on the value of the estate, not part of our $3,388.87 fee for handling the probate application. Use the Estate Administration Tax Calculator for that number.
What does estate administration cost?
Estate administration is quoted to the estate rather than priced as a flat fee, because the work depends on the size and complexity of the estate. We confirm the fee in writing before starting.
Do I need a lawyer to make a will in Ontario?
No, but a lawyer-drafted will is far less likely to be challenged or misread later, and ours starts at $563.87.
Do you charge by the estate's value?
No -- our will and probate fees are flat, not a percentage of the estate. Probate's Estate Administration Tax, a separate government charge, is value-based -- see the calculator linked above.
What's extra beyond our fee?
Billed separately, at cost: estate court fees (probate, where applicable); couriers & office charges -- itemized and estimated in writing before any work begins.
